Both!

tlr96 · July 31st, 2007, 10:26 PM

wow man, there is a huge price difference between those two options. if money is not an issue go with the turbo. but if you dont want to spend that much, get some cams. you could also get some gears or exhaust.

06RedfireGT · August 1st, 2007, 12:12 AM

well there is a huge difference between the two. you will get the most HP gains with the turbo. the cams will be about $1400 installed, but the turbo will be between $6000-$6500.

Turbo around $5800.00 and 10 hrs for a DIY very easy installation and kit comes complete with program, 483hp at only 10lbs of boost on a stock motor turbo has room to grow and if you do some bottom end work and bring up the boost you can get 600+hp at 16lbs of boost

06RedfireGT · August 2nd, 2007, 01:25 AM

well the install isn't easy for the average joe and what about a custom dyno tune?

Ataylor · August 3rd, 2007, 01:28 PM

thanks i think i am go n to go ahead and get cams. i got true dual flows and a hypertech tuner but i dont think it really done anything so i will prob get 3.73 gears and cams but with the cams do i need to do anything to the engine.

TURBO!!

cuz then you can get a cam to make the turbo work even better later ... ... not make it work better ..but help the engine perform better with the turbo

06RedfireGT · August 3rd, 2007, 07:48 PM

man go with the turbo. its more expensive but far more effective.

00GT · August 8th, 2007, 05:52 PM

both and ported heads

dmachine22 · August 8th, 2007, 09:32 PM

I agree Both if you have the money but if not I like to get the most out of a car N/A first then add the forced induction!

matrixpuba · August 9th, 2007, 02:31 AM

turbo FTW!!!

TheBusher · August 9th, 2007, 05:09 PM

I would go turbo. Yes, the turbo setup is more expensive, but the power potential from a turbo is well above and beyond a cam, especially with some bottom end work. Crank that boost!!!

Plus if your trying to get a really good gain from the cam, it's gonna eat your gas milage and make it a not so fun DD.

Ataylor · August 14th, 2007, 02:37 PM

ok thanks well from what yall say i guess i am go n to go ahead and go with the turbo or maybe a supercharger i heard they both do about the sam and supercharger is safer yeah i got to keep that gas millage my car is an everyday driver

If you have the money, turbo. If you have more money, both. If you have little money, cams. If you have flaming shitpiles of money laying around, both, and buy me both as well. lol
