FWIW, I talked to a friend who just went turbo and he was lamenting his decision. The car has 100whp more than it did, but he says it's not nearly as fun to drive. He misses having the power available all the time. He said it he was doing it all over again he would put on a twin screw and be done with it.

What car and what did he have before? Brendan went from a Magnacharger to twin turbo on the GTO and loves the turbos.

It's a 347ci Cobra like yours. He had a vortech on it and was making around 550 wheel. His new setup is a big single turbo and it makes well over 600wheel. The STS is a twin system and may not have the lag his car has.

I ran into a guy at the Chevron late one night. He had a gnarly TT STS on his C6 that had two stages: 1) 600WHP for going to the store 2) 1000 WHP for I don't know what. I don't know exactly how he had this setup. It was done at West Coast Corvette which certainly turns out some hi power Vettes.

He swore it didn't have any detectable lag.


I'd be into the Twin Screw, or more recent Eaton like on the ZR1, but none have an EO/CARB cert for the 2001 F Body. STS and Pro Charger are it.

I'd go STS then

The issue is keeping it all under the stock hood. If you don't care about that, should be easy.

I don't think they'd be that interested in my C3 because mine is a full LSx swap, not a Gen I SBC. But I sent them a note anyway.

Just buy the kit for the Camaro and cut the C3 stuff out of the way till it fits.

Except by a twin screw blower. Even a TVS Roots blower (4 lobe/160degree) is not as efficient as a twin screw.



That's at lower boost levels too. The difference only goes up as the boost does.
