That's a huge cost increase. Now I can see why it makes sense to just get the forced induction done from the factory. ZL1 Camaro with a pulley intake and exhaust. Newer M5 gets close to 700 whp with a tune. 4.0 AMGs with a tune. This upgrade path just doesn't make sense but to each their own.

@branchtana315 11 ай бұрын

There are plenty of cars where an aftermarket SC/turbo does make financial sense, just not this one currently. C8 kits are just insanely expensive right now since the both the vehicle platform and the kits themselves are pretty new to the market. Plus they'll sell a lot fewer kits for the C8 than they will for many other vehicle platforms, which also keeps the prices much higher. $7k-$8k will buy you a nice SC/Turbo kit for most other more common platforms that have been around for a while.

@TurboNFRStwoK 11 ай бұрын

Where it starts to make sense is the fact that now that the c8 is a couple years old you can get a brand new one for close to MSRP. I’ve seen them as cheap as 69k. So for 10-12k less than the price of a Z06, You can get a c8 that makes at the wheels what a Z06 does at the crank. The story is still the same with the other cars you mentioned but let’s be honest. No one is cross shopping a rear engine supercar with a front engine sedan or sports coupe.

Great video, I have to say, the only thing really surprising here is the sound between the two. I really expected the twins to be more subdued. I also have a Procharger and have the quite gear set (this video makes me thank God I did) and it really made my LS sound nasty out of the exhaust so I think if you were to do the same, the Procharged version would sound much nicer than this…Not as good as the turbski’s good lord, but certainly better than a blender :)

@A2J_Tim 11 ай бұрын

my first boosted vehicle was a mustang that i supercharged with a centrifugal supercharger, My second vehicle was a turbo Eagle talon, I upgraded the turbo to a hybrid 50 trim. After owning both forms of boost I never went back to a super charger, the upgrade ability and performance potential of a turbo is far superior to a belt driven supercharger and requires less maintenance, also you have to worry about a belt with a supercharger.

@tonemack2981 8 ай бұрын

Turbos are for folks who think about speed and being fast, and want too be the most powerful. I could care less about being fast or the most powerful as I'm not out here racing people, trying to put down track times or trying to be the most powerful. Every configuration has it's ups and downs. For me personally it's all about the drive. I prefer power where needed when needed. When I put my foot down I expect the instant rush of torque too shoot me in that gap I'm trying to get in when merging, which is why I prefer a positive displacement supercharger. There's no wrong answer it's all about what you prefer and what you are trying to achieve. Centrifugal superchargers are great for cars who already have plenty of grunt down low as they focus on higher engine speed power. Sometimes too much torque down low is wasted just because all your gonna get is wheel spin. Turbos are more efficient no doubt and they give you the most, but you have to wait on it albeit not long especially for smaller Turbos, but generally they are more complex as there are more parts involved. But again no wrong answer here let's just appreciate that we have a variety of force induction too choose from or else everyone would be driving around with Turbos under their hood, and no one would standout, be unique.

Only issue with the TT twins system are those filters are down low in an area that would suck up water, so it is living where it rains off an on 7 months a year like the entire middle of the country, or coastal states.

@SuperXs1100 11 ай бұрын

For daily driving I would be happy to give up the mid range for the response. Having built both for on road and off road, the re-spool delay from having to let off the throttle and then get back into it can be very upsetting. With a supercharger I know what I'm getting when I hit the throttle, instead of a lag and a surge that can be hard to manage.

Haven't listen to the video yet, but I'm almost going to guarantee TwinTurbo's are going to make more power. However, a pro charger is super charger. It's probably still going to produce quite a bit of power probably be cheaper and much easier to install but at the end of the day, it's how big is your pocket and what do you want, if you were just wanting to add power, neither is probably a bad choice
