Well, if you're looking to spend a lot of money then I'd say you want a turbo. If you're looking for a hassle free top end boost for $5K then SC.

When it comes down to it, your gonna get more HP with a turbo, however THAT factor comes down to how deep your pockets are. If not that deep then a SC will be best option. Im stuck between this decision myself, gotta start planning for the future.

couldn't have said it better myself

it depends on whether you want to rebuild the engine, diff and box later on
if you do then it's better to go turbo than vortech

the debate is slightly easier with comptech vs turbo because the novi1000 runs out of puff way before the v2. So you won't be making huge power with the comptech system.....and IF you are sensible then you may not have to rebuild the diff or box. (That's a big "IF" )

Hecash - Do you have any ideas why your experience with the SC was so different to many others? You've had an uncannily bad run yet many others have had no problems at all.
