Default Best forced induction kit

Hello from a Newbie!

I apologize in advance as this question has probably come up many times before. I have tried to search for "best turbo", "best supercharger", etc...so here goes:

I am comtemplating the purchase of a C4 with LT1, manual.

I have been reading up on various types of F/I systems. I am aware that the choices are somewhat subjective.

On the turbo side, the options seem to be between front mounted such as from HP, or rear mount, such as from STS.

On the S/C side, I have seen kits from Procharger, which come with an intercooler, and Vortech, no I/C.

I realize a cannot get a perfect answer, since each option has pros and cons, but I would very greatful if I could get some feedback on these various kits or any others out there for that matter.

Thank you.

The most complete kit out there for a C4 is from www.blowerworks.net.

I don't think STS makes a specific C4 kit, so there would be some garage engineering involved to make that work on your car.

The front mount turbo is questionable as to whether or not the company can actually produce and sell the kit. Some people have had problems getting their stuff delivered from them.

Good luck!
