Help adding power to stock C6
I have a 2006 C6 stock- I had for about 8 month and now I’ve been thinking to add extra power. I’m undecided between a Supercharger and Twin Turbocharger. I research a little and found that an STS Turbocharger kit will cost me about 8k (no installation). Any thoughts on that price?
Further, I don’t know if I should do heads and cam before installing a forced induction (FI) set up. Your thoughts please? I have a budget of approx 10k. Please you thoughts on how I should proceed, or what type of set up would my car benefit the most from. Thank you.

A&A is an excellent choice. As for cam and heads, it depends on how much power you want to end up with. You didn't mention if you have a MN6 or an A6.
I'm running a stock C6 05 A4 with the Vortech SC with a 3.8 pulley and it put out 11 lbs on a cool day. I have no performance cam or heads and made 561 RWHP.
$7K should be enough for the setup I have tune included. I also went with methanol for safety on a stock bottom engine.

if you buy a kit, upgrade the blower to a YSI or a F1.. you will thank youself down the road..
Honestly, if I could start all over from day 1 such as yourself, I would sell your complete LS2 for $3K, then use that $13K you have now and build a solid engine. You can go FI later and not ahve to worry about your engine going BOOM!
