I have been throwing the idea around lately of pulling my A&A T-trim kit off my 08 c6 completely and selling it complete and going with a turbo setup. Seems like I could come out without having to spend a arm and a leg if I find a buyer for the blower kit.
Made 647/565 on a stock ls3 with full exhaust on 9lbs on a 91 pump tune so would want to keep power in that area or higher. It does have a fuel system that I would keep or upgrade depending.
For some of you guys that have done either or both, maybe some pros and cons on doing the switch.
If I do not change it up, I will be doing cam, meth or E fuel setup, smaller pulley and see how long it lasts (if it last works for me, if it doesn't built engine and more FI)
So in short is it worth considering switching from my blower setup to a turbo setup or is it a waste of money and time and keep what I have and build it up more

How are you using the car? You've got decent numbers already. I guess compared to Texas cars though 600 is average 
Switching to turbo could give you more torque down low if sized correctly. Turbos do sound better.
On the down side they are harder to package on a vette. You deal with more heat issues. Cost.
I run turbos on my Camaro. It's my don't car if something breaks drag car. I have an A&A kit for simplicity/cost on my nice weather vette. But I'm not out for track numbers etc on the vette.
