Default Turbo?

Twin Turbos or Nother route?
Got chance at used TTI system ,If I do this I should have all HP and Tourque I need.
Any opinions?

Kenne Bell supercharger. You can get up to 950hp with it. Ive never really liked twin turbos but its your car so do what you want.

I haven't seen any evidence with Corvettes to suggest that. No real track results either. Go with something proven, like an X kit.

Vortech S/C for me but FI is FI

Make sure the fan blades spin freely on the turbo

I'm not anti KB at all - I'm just pointing out that I haven't seen 950 hp.

As for used turbos - do your due dilligence regardless if the kit is new or used.

Used is ok if it's the TTiX kit or X lite as it's been refined from the early kits, it also depends on what power levels your looking for.

Kenny Bell has the bling and so does a Magnacharger.

I dumpped my charger and went with twins and never have looked back.

ECS Paxton kit is a great bang for the buck but then again your talking about a charger.
