In my opinion, I would get a supercharger. In an article I read, a guy had a 95 Z28 with a Vortech S-trim centrifugal supercharger that idles as if stock and can be driven daily. But hey, I'm no expert.

It all depends.. Turbocharger is going to be a much more costly and labor intensive install than a supercharger.. But IMO turbocharger is better

Re: Turbo Or Supercharger On Lt1

theres less turbo kits around than superchargers and they might be wierd for a daily driver because when your not making any boost its like a normal car but when they start making it look out.

Atleast with a supercharger the boost is always pretty much there and its onset is gradual.

Generally speaking, a supercharger kit could cost anywhere between
2-4K, usually not including an intercooler. Plus, you may want to have it professionally installed because with automobiles these days, there are so many technical aspects with the computers now.
