Default should i SC my b18b?

i really don't have to much knowledge on SC's. All i know is that i love the throttle response. I will be using my car as a daily driver, and plan on doing a lot of Auto X-ing. I probablly wil be running stock internals.

I just want more or less info. on reliability. how much maintenance would i require. Life expectancy. what type of power would i be putting out. cost $$...Also what tranny set-ups work better.

someone elighten me with your knowledge. I'm NA fan alll the way but lately after seeing my friends SC VR6 ive been having naughty thoughts

I also heard that using a b16 SC on a b18b puts out better power, is this true. Also what co. should i go with Jackson or Vortech?

If your worried about throttle response, a simple solution for this is just to run a much smaller trim and size turbo. There are many variables, but honestly i think you will be much happier Turbo'n your LS.

And about reliability, this is almost just a perception. Someone who takes good car of their boosted car can easily have a reliable setup, as well for any forced induction setup.

These motors simply take the greatest advantage from a turbo, as opposed to a SC. it's like they where made for it!
