Exclamation Turbo or Supercharger?

I gotta question. I just read all of Texans articles cus I am new here and I wanna know what I should put in or if it is even possible to put it in a NA engine and if I can...How much more would it cost to convert it to a turbo or a supercharger(blower). Its funny how much a person can actually persuade you

well, i wouldn't go with a turbo, mainly because they are harder to find for muscle cars. but yes you could put a supercharger on (like the 455 doesn't make enough power already ). look around paxton, eaton, ect. wish i had the $$$ for a blower

build the 455 in it. My boss ahs a '70 Olds Cutlass with a 455 that tachs out a 7 grand. and pulls a tire if he launches right. You can build it real nice.

High end or all around

Well, the supercharger is best but largly because it adds the torque boost at the low end which is the advantage muscle cars have over importa, also the pully drive system wont be taking much force off of somethig like a pontiac 455, where as if you put one on a S2K inline 4 it would take too much power away from the engine to crank the pulley. Also unless your engine revs to about 8 or 9 turbos wont have enough drive to give a good boost. Also having an oldschool blower sticking out of the hood as the engine growls with the valves opening and closing, or the air scoop shaking back and forth as it idles looks just plain wicked.
