i was saving for the new c5 block for my b16 head n tranny ......... now im thjinking maybe i should supercharge it it would be a lot less correct?

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

any particular reason u are considering supercharge vs turbo?

 

u getting the JR or Vortec?

 

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

 

supercharger is easier to install and its less money

 

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

or get a Jackson Racing supercharger?

 

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
