TT or SC
Twin Turbo or Supercharger...
Which one provides more power on average.(i know lots of different kinds)
Does the (or can the) supercahrger have that same blow off valve and sound. I absolutely LOVE that sound. Which is more practical for a DD?

A TT would be my choice, though the sound of the BOV wouldn't affect my decision.

Originally i was considering going the supercharger route. I was not looking forward to the noise that a supercharger puts out. I personally like the sleeper look and sound. And when i found a used TTi Stage 1 twin turbo kit for sale at a reasonable price i jumped on it. Realistically my costs were probably the same as a supercharger but instead i got twin turbos...And i love em

seriously, over in the fi section we have 2 guys making over 700 to whe wheel's with an sts kit, nick yoskin running sub 10 with his ptk kit, the ligenfelter guys with their nasty power and a few other kits.
that being said ive seen ECS paxon kits that make sick power too, and if i had it to do over, it would have been a tough decison if the paxon was available when i ordered. plus the new kenny bell unit is out on the market here soon, its an exciting time for FI corvettes. good luck, listen to my video floating around it you want to hear a nasty blow off valve
and my car is my daily driver, when im not stuck here (in the navy)

Turbos are gonna allow you more flexiblity.... depending on your buget you can control the amount of boost from the touch of a button with the turbos whlie the SC is pretty fixed...
STS has it's pros and cons.. but if your on a buget... it's a great starting point..

I am one of those guys making 742 rwhp/655 rwtq that is Sick HP on the street, oh this is not a TT setup. Long live given up for dead A&A DS1C with a little ole forged 346. I will say all FI setups are good, what it depends on is first your budget. Once you have that set plan and put a plan in place and be prepared to spent 20-25% more than planned for I know as I went in with a plan and along the way I made some changes for more than just power while the car was down. This is a great time to upgrade the suspension and brakes if this has not been done.
My car pretty much makes Sick Power off the get go and that is because of the hp/tq is just insane to say the least. So do not believe what everyone says that the DS1C's are not making TQ under the curve and that is not true in my case as my biggest issue even with some good Nitto's on the car is traction or the lack of
So plan and budget and get the best fit for yourself and you will have a kick a$$ Vette

It always depends on budget and/or preferences.
I like blowers myself and I will stick with them. SC and TTs can both produce stupid power
I ve seen guys with F1R SC with over 800 RWHP through A4s, peter pan 742 RWHP.The advantage of TTs is that you cqan control the power (a little more complicated with a blower since it implies a pulley swap and a tune
)
