Ok.

So I definitely don't want to stay stock . And the m62 isn't going to put out the power that I want...

so I definitely need to either go Turbo or TVS.
Now, my issue is if I am going to go build the **** out of my motor & stuff, I will definitely just go turbo. If I'm in for a penny I'm in for a pound

Can I just take a stock Redline and throw a TVS at it and make good power (with some supporting mods) ?
What kind of power can I make without having to build my motor or anything drastic like that?

And is the pull from the TVS comparable to a turbo swap?
This will be my DD.

I am just looking for something that pulls a lot harder,
and will be safe when the project is complete, to have as a DD.
I really want to upgrade some **** like the exhaust, but I can't even do that until I decide between SC/TC

So, please help me out haha.
If anyone has anything great to say about either setup, or some great advice, please throw it my way.

You can pretty much just drop a TVS straight in. You'll just need some injectors and a tune for it. My buddy dynoed around 350whp with full bolt ons, ported head, and E85 Tune with TVS. Most people end up around there it seems, until you start building up the engine.

If you don't have the availability of E85/ don't want to take the Meth route, numbers seem more 300-320 depending on the dyno.

Two different monsters. Turbo LSJs seem to put out better numbers, but a turbo swap also cost much more.

Either can be safe as a Daily providing you have the right supporting mods and a good enough tune. Find a good tuner and have a long talk with them regarding what you want out of the car. If you want to make it a daily, it might be worth sacrificing some power to keep reliability better.

Keep in mind, as you add power, things are going to break. Clutch is a nice factor that will have a difficult time handling the extra power. The general rule of thumb is the stock clutch doesn't like over 300whp. You do a good launch, you can break an axle. Ect ect ect. Theirs things to consider upgrading to handle the new power.

imho if you dont want more then like 380hp go tvs. it will make your life a lot easier and it will be a fun car depending on your driving style and race style..... if you want 400+ then turbo is your only option

i love these threads too. just go with turbo kit. dont touch the motor unless you plan to go over 450whp+ other than that, you dont have to do anything else. if you want between 300-350whp then buy a tvs with supporting mods and a good tune. end
