i'd go with a S/C setup (but that's just me) because it's less of the hassle to maintain. less things to worry about. sure, TT setup is a lot faster, sounds great, but like i said, there's soo many things to worry about.

I have less to maintain with my TT than I did with my SC. Just change the oil and go...

if you plan on building the engine, go tt. look to spend about $20k+ depending if you do it right and what options.

if you want a stock block daily then go supercharged for about $10k.

Depends on how much you want to spend. Since you have an Auto, you're limited on what you can do Unless you plan on going deep into your pockets, then you should TT it by all means. If not and want to maximize your performance with a set amount of money, then do all of the basic Auto Tranny upgrades, cooling, etc... and Vortech it and get all of the other goodies to go along with it to have a strong safe car.

Stillen is a waste of money imho. Vortech I feel is the only SC that is worth the money.

i dont know bout all that. spend 11k on an aps tt kit and run stock block w/ a good tune and it can easily be a daily driver

For me, Vortech no doubt.

I'm loooking to make good power (~430 whp/360wtq) for a daily driven G35 6MT, that also gets tracked.

I wan't my car to be easy to maintain and be reliable on the stock block until it gets upgraded/built.

There is no such thing as better; it all depends on what your priorities are. SC's and TT's all have their pros & cons.

it really depends what your needs and goals are

if you want big hp, the twin turbos will make more power and have the ability to be easily upgraded.

however, some may opt for a supercharger system because of more instant response from the blower. you can still upgrade a supercharger by changing the pulleys but it is limited

Even on a stock block a TT is the way to go with a safe tune. You always have room to grow and you have the instant power. You can have full boost at 2500rpm in any gear!

I would love to see anyone have a SC, then get a TT and come back and pick the SC. You don't have to use all the potential to enjoy the benifits of a TT.
