All opinions are welcome on this:
I am planning some mods, and have taken into consideration turbos. Now would it be better to do a turbo system? or simply do an engine swap? or procharger? plz comment

well it depends on your power goals and what you want to do with the car? are you just looking for it to have more power or are you looking to do any organized racing?

They say 45-75% increase but its all relative to your mods and boost and tune.

You can push the limits of your engine with a P1SC before you push the limits of the blower.

Its a very good system to build around.

If you dont want to spend that much and want awesome off idle power, check out a M112 conversion.

Turbo's are a great (A lot argue the best) system too.

btw, power wise, those that run the kit say around 260-270hp to the tires in stock trim.
I found a thread where ATI said the kit makes 34RWHP more than a stock 2001 GT. Both cars were Auto's.

No Problem.

The stock engine can take quite a bit, 325-350rwhp are save levels for Supercharged setups. You might be happy with that performance and decide to work over your suspension and reduce drivetrain loss or vehicle weight.

300rwhp in a well ballanced machine is a lot of fun.
