Default how much better is a GSR turbo over a LS-turbo

i got a 91 teg, i want to go GSR than mabey turbo it later, or i see alot of people on here saying LS turbo, oviously the gsr turbo against the ls turbo is gona win, but by how much?

i was thinking going gsr because with everything stock you start off with around 40hp more before any tuning or turbo.


"still gota beat that damn turbo 95 talon my friend has"

well, unless your engine has alot of miles on it....then i would stick with the engine u got and turbo it. otherwise go for the GS-R......u can always boost more

Dude, you can have so much more fun with an LS b/c of it's lower static compression from factory. LS can run 14 lbs no problems. With a GS-R you'll only be able to push about 1/2 that. Since you've got a 91 'teg you can use the Zdyne SECU.....I'd highly recommend it.
