Default to boost or not to boost?

Ok, lets face it a stock LS doesnt exaclty have a lot of "punch" i dont want turbo too much to deal with. so i was thinking of supercharging it. It doesnt need to be crazy fast but it needs to go somewhere! If anyone has one they are looking to sell please let me know. Opinions would be nice too!

superchargers suck on 4 cyl low displacement engines, and you motor even at idle is under strenuous boost conditions because it is a belt driven accessory, go turbo you will see better gains and along with a good tune your motor will last longer


my next plan is an ls turbo

lol hassle the few girls that come to this sausage fest, thats y they dont hang around

downgrading from any large displacement rwd torque machine to a sporty econobox is quite dissapointing lol, i still say stick with ls snailed, but i thing jackson racing makes a sc kit for the ls that ive heard makes decent power safely with few other modifications, however the only sc ive seen fs on here in a while have been for the d-series

Ya its definatly a tough adjustment. i know turbo is way more effective i just dont want all the bs that tends to come with it. i want something simple and reliable. IF thats possible and yes i was looking for a Jackson Racing SC so if anyone has one LET ME KNOW!


Sorry if this is a shitty place to post i thought id inquire WHILE i was looking to buy. didnt feel like making 2 posts

Go Turbo, chip your ecu and have it tuned. Most problems come from cheap *** fuel management such as a VAFC. You can do it cheap, especially if you have patience and be reliable too. Good luck on whatever you do.
