I am looking in the near future at getting either a VE Calais or SSV V8 and was wanting to do some resonable mods to it. My end goal would be either a supercharged or twin turbo car with around 500 fwkw's.
I guess my questions are these.
1. Other than looks, is there any performance advantage between the Calais and SSV?
2. Would you do all your minor mods like cold air intake, exhaust, cam etc before you put on forced induction, or would you do the forced induction and then do everything after that? I dont want to do something like the cam and then find out once I have put FI on it that I have to change it.
3. Supercharged vs Twin Turbo? What are the costs differences between both options? Obviously there are differences between the two, but performance wise, whcih one is more likely to give quicker 0-100 times, less wheel spin at take off, more quieter ride etc? Which one is more reliable, which one needs to be rebuilt quicker etc?
Thanks in advance.
