Default sts vs blower

Which would be faster for an 08 Vette with an A6?

depends on what you want to do. the sts is more expensive so you could do more to a blower set up so if you are looking to make the most power for same $ i would do the blower

See if you can drive both and make your own decision.
I would also reach out to ECS.

I have driven both and I was REALLY looking forward to the STS.
I believed the STS was gong to be the "Holy Grail" for the C6.

Unfortunately, I was reallly dissapointed with the STS's boost delivery.
Personally, I would go with an ECS Paxton supercharger for a street car.

Good Luck.

Check out this ProCharged C6. Your new '08 would make even more power. Bob
