The only thing that concerns me with the turbo kit is the lag that may be there. Thats why im leaning towards the KB.

I'd personally going with KB, WHEN i s/c its going to be twinscrew.
Nothing like 400 pounds of torque when you hit the gas =)

I cant say ive seen to many. Its probaly cause of the tuners not knowing what the hell there doing and assuming that each pound of boost makes the same amount of power and then kaaboom not realizing its makin more with a turbo.

Turbo lag is fixed with proper tuning. Pound for pound, turbo's will always be more effiecent. But... on the other hand, if you have a stock bottom end, you don't want to max out PSI to see what you can get out of it. As far as the supercharger goes, it's another pulley, and with that it takes HP to get it moving too. I've always seen more lag with SC's they turbos anyday. In the long run it comes down to personal opinion. If you like the idea of a KB go with it. IMO turbo all the way. Either one will require a tune and a fuel system upgrade to keep up. Sounds like fun though. Let's us know what you go with!
