Found a cool read about different supercharges and turbo set ups.
http://www.popularhotrodding.com/tech/0808phr_roots_centrifigul_screw_superchargers/viewall.html
I'm planning on boosting my ls1 and was after some opinions on different setup... Say what type of set up you have used (turbo, roots or centrifugal), how you set it up, what you liked about it, fuel efficiency and power.
I'm leaning toward a roots style supercharger because I like the idea of torque all over the place and response but I have heard some good things about turbo set ups but I would have to sell some of my current set up to set up a turbo. My car has cam, heads headers etc and I won't be able to use my cam and headers with a turbo. The centrifugal looks like an awesome set up too, Im after some comparison and pros and cons.
I guess it would be cool to chat to some guys who have boost set ups on their ls1 and get some more idea of what I want.
So what do ya reckon?
