Turbo.
More efficient
More upgrade options
Cheaper to replace if it goes

Too many tradeoffs with superchargers.

 

Expect to be down for a bit when installing a turbo. The ease of installation with a SC. I have had both on my V8s. And am the same boat when looking at my stang on what I am going to do with that. Also remember more hp more parts going to break. You want a 500 hp Fox. Hows your tranny. All i am prob going to do with my fox is intake, TW heads and a Novi or Vortech(Want a 400+ rwhp car). GL with what ever you choose. And i ve been working on my turbo firebird for over a yr now and its a slow process. New motor, trannies, fuel sys, and etc. Hope your patient. GL

 

i wouldnt waste my money on the block, 500rwhp is about the limit on a stock block, just get an Rblock and boost the crap outta it.

 

im not one of those type of "stock block because i can" type of people..i did that with my integra..and i got lucky it didnt blow,as much as i raced it,and beat up on people.


this time,i want to have a solid motor,with a solid structure.


as far as building a 500hp fox,i know i can do it either way,and be successful,but i see myself eclipsing that mark with a turbo,but then again,like the other guy said,shit starts to break.

 

i know parts are going to break.

i plan on getting a TKO500 tranny,9'' rear end,sub frame connectors,etc.

im not just gonna throw a powerhouse in there,and beat on it...although i loved the fact that i could do that in my honda,and only have to worry about the clutch going out.

 

i think dss uses a stock block or a "sportsman block" with just a main girdle, which all it does it hold the pieces togeather when it breaks. and you dont need a 9", save the money and just build the 8.8

 

87vert is referring to the block itself, not the internals.

I voted turbo....but I drive a honda.

 

i voted turbo but i would stay all motor and spray.
