Best for reliability & power,Supercharge or Turbo ?
 
My 93 Vette roadster is my daily driver but as things go I had to redo the trans up to drag race specs so now the trans wants more power so I'm thinking of strapping on an intercooled supercharger but I thought I'd see if someone can give me some advice on which model is best or if turbos are better. Thanks :cheers:

how much $$$ are you planning on spending? or better yet what are your hp goal?
my old supercharged combo with untuned dyno 544hp 598tq and I now swaped out to turbo route.

That should move nicely :) I suppose 400 or 450 hp should be nice & would help keep up with C6s. Reliability is very important as its my daily driver. I'm thinking under $5k. Thanks

Are you a decent fabricator? Buy a lt1 sts turbo kit and modify the piping. It will give you your desired HP and reliability. But 450 hp could just as easily be accomplished with a N.A. 383 w/ heads & cam.
