Which would be the best for my 2000 'Teg LS. A turbo system from www.overboost.com or a jackson racing super charger??

I know this probably doesn't help at all since i don't have any experience with either, but here is what I think (from heresay around the boards.)

If you race a lot, aftermarket turbo systems can sometimes by tempermental and require a little extra work to keep them tuned right. But it is very nice to have a boost controller to controll the boost you have. A supercharger is pretty much going to put out the same power all the time, which is fine I guess.

I would want the turbo though.

Your LS block is good for a turbo setup. If I had the money I would like to try a turbo myself.

i am personally going to sc my civic. a sc gives you more consistent power all the time and is a lot more reliable then a turbo. with the turbo like as said before you must keep the maintenence up with the intercooler etc. but if you want a lot more hp then go with the turbo.
i just want constant power increase with the touch of the pedal without having the lag of a turbo. it is all up to what you want- high end power or low end constant power.

i agree w/PiNoY GsR RaCeR. ls is a beaute to turbo.
besides i have a friend w/ a teg ls w/ a jackson on it an the best he ran was a 15.2. bad driver? maybe but i dunno.
go turbo, "nothing looks tougher than a front mount intercooler"

its better to turbo charge because when you sc you have to use power from the car, but with turbo it uses a byproduct of the car which is exhaust gases and on top of that you get that nice bov sound.
