Ok so i'm getting a VZ SS at the start of next year and i know it's going to take awhile to save but i'm going to start now.

what should i get for my vz ss? turbo, TT(if it's possible, i don't know much) or supercharge it?

along the way whilst saving i'm getting the usual mods such as CAI, exhaust, tune, re-chip, intake manifold etc etc.

what do u guys think? post any comments/suggestions i'm open to criticism coz i don't know that much about cars anyways but have plenty of friends that do

I voted don't bother with any.

Mainly because I don't believe in forced induction on V8's. I'd prefer an N/A 8 worked to the max!

But if I was to choose out of the two I'd be going for a supercharged set up. More boost at low RPM's.

I reckon a nice big single turbo, cos driveability isnt required for everyone. But seriously, have a look into twin turbo set ups, they produce some very good power figures, spool up at low rpm and are easily driveable as a daily. "enhancedss" off this forum just sold him supercharger kit, to put a TT kit on, he is the man to speak to if you have any questions.

Marranos performance, i think are in sydney, they also do TT and T setups, they just did a twin turbo Coupe 4 for a customer too.

I dare say that marranos will do supercharging, they sponsor the LS1.com.au forum, so they have a section in there that you can browse through.

Twin turbo is generally considered one of the best options for the LS1, a lot of people have them, and run some very quick times down the quater, while still being able to drive them daily without scaring the crap out of themselves
