How much do you think a turbo cost?
They cost the same....................................
Bare turbo kits with no fuel or maf parts cost right at $3,000
When you look at $4,500-5,000 turbo kits you have to keep
in mind they are coming with a lot of stuff an s/c kit does not come with.
Like an intercooler, injectors, fuel pump and new MAF.

I thought kenne bells were only around $3000?

It's all in the tune, but I would say about 10-12 psi.
You know you can put a turbo on for same money and make more power. ....................

RE: kennebell supercharger
There was a guy on another forum i'm on that was running the 1.5L KB on a stock '95 GT pushing 11psi. Thing ran great, too bad he sold it
I think 11psi is more than I would run on a stock bottom end, but maybe the tune was so good it didn't make a difference.
Yes turbos are cool but there's just something about a KB

RE: kennebell supercharger
Just came from my buddy's shop..they have a 92 LX with a Kenne Bell there now.
This kid just bought it and the Blower is rattling and make terrible noises so I went to check it out...then did some research...happens alot with the 5.0 Kenne Bell blowers due to the damper/pulley system...rattles at idle but then clears up as the rpms increase..
The motor was built similar to mine with Twisted Wedges and my Vortech powered motorsounds way better than the Kenne Bell motor. Also my set up looks much better than the wierd looking Kenne Bell set up....but that is just my opinion.

And then you start changing your blower pulley for more psi. the smaller the pulley the more psi
