Default What ever shall I do?

okay im havin second thoughts about the twin turbo's, the cost goes up every day it seems. so I need your opinion which of these should I do?? keep in mind it kinda has to stay under or right around 10k, which is why the TT's are gettin way out there about 13k all said and done. I absolutly need to run 600-700RWHP at least, don't ask why I just want to be SUPER FAST. if anyone knows a supercharger that will get me over 600RWHP, that would be awesome too. thanks!

A Procharger and some juice will probably put you pretty close. Just a good single turbo and some juice will probably put you pretty close also.

I thought it would be more expensive to set up a charger and juice at the same time then it would be to get turbos. I always heard it was dangerous to run Nitrous on a FI engine for some reason.

hmmm I never heard that, although I do know that at $6,500 for stage 2 twin turbo w/o installation, I'm only $3500 from using all my money. I bought forged internals so now I'm another $1600 down, plus I'm ordering clutch, flywheel, driveshaft yet.

I figure that you'd be better in the end, because turbos are a lot safer to use, & less strenuous on your ride than either a blower, or nitrous. Yes, it can be a lot more expensive, but you get what you pay for remember that. Besides, juiced, or blown Stangs are VERY common...be different.

Don't forget they sound so frickin cool!!

Someone said you can get a bigger then normal SC but you have to call the manufacturer direct. Apparently it's not officially released or for sale, but you can get it through them. I read about it in a thread a week or two ago...
