and run like 5 lbs of booost and not have any problems....should i?

wilsel

SC should be safe at 5 PSI, and make more power.

Deemeetree

Once you boost 5 lbs., you'll want more. Then you're going to get into the "I want more power" stage and still place money into it to make it 10 lbs. +. Depends on what you're going to use it for.

yea its like 30 lbs of torque and 50 hp

mafioso102

any particular reason u are considering supercharge vs turbo?

JDMlyfestyle

u getting the JR or Vortec?

gezer

i think it all depends on what you want out of your car? The c5 block would be nice, all motor always sounds sweet. But the supercharger would be a cheaper way for now, but down the road it will add up to be the same if not more. Depending on what you would do to the c5 when you get it

why not get a C1 block and save money?

Jackson Racing i think

jdm_loser

supercharger is easier to install and its less money

jdm_loser

so what would you do spend 2200 on a brand new c5 block

or get a Jackson Racing supercharger?

gezer

dude on the long run you will come up to about the same amount of money, unless you just wnat the supercharge and then do not much to it
