With flat Torque curve of a Positive Displacement supercharger and instant boost ability I would find it hard to see a equally chassis/geared/RWHP N/A car run neck and neck with a postive displacement supercharged car.

Heres a little video proof to prove what im talking about:

(The Cammed camaro should have a gearing advantage with the 3.73's and would probly dyno higher being an M6 vs A6.)


Point is: There plenty of different ways to make power. Nitrous is easy to install and remove and very cost effective if you want to consider that route. There is no waiting Turbo LAG, very little added weight, BUT youll have to watch you bottle pressure and keep the bottle full.
Superchargers are expensive but my GTO got the same Highway mileage BEFORE my M112H and After my M112H (on stock pulleys). Yes, Heat Soak is a major PITA but there are way to combat it.
Cams are great and the right setup will yeild some impressive numbers with decent drivability. I try to avoid most "SHOP CAR" numbers and some tend to be more of a marketing ploy and a bit inflated. See if you can find someone on a forum who has installed the same parts themselves and tuned the car else where. But a cam setup is not easily redone and put back to stock.

In my own Vette I would never consider putting a Positive Displacement blower on the car as it doesnt need GOBS of low end torque to get the car moving (weight factor as my GTO is a pretty heavy) and if you've ever drove a PD blower car they are VERY hard to hook up on street tires! I would rather opt for the Centri blower line of Superchargers for my own Vette.

But do some serious research before you pick your poison!! See if there are some local guys with LSx platforms boosted, sprayed, or cammed for you to go for a ride with.

Just my $0.02: The LS3 Heads perform AWESOME with a little boost!!

Run a couple quarter miles back to back at a legal track, sitting in staging and the outcome would be slightly different.

If you had a 450whp NA car i highly doubt it would have as flat of a torque curve as a 450whp PD blower car. IF you can make the Blown Car hook just as hard as the N/A car its gunna be a bad out come for the N/A guy on the street or track!

And yes I am a member of LS2GTO and CorvetteForum/Ls1tech/Camaro5 etc... I don't nut swing on one platform and think im god almighty as Im into everything GM/LSX.

You seem like a prime example of why most ppl think Corvette owners are high on themselves!

So please tell me how stating that the thread is going to get locked because someone doesn't pay attention to the rules makes me high on myself?
