Twincharger vs. Widebodykit
So for my next project i was thinking to either add a turbo to the already potent supercharger or go with a custom widebody kit. Suggestions?

twincharging is more trouble than its worth.... go straight turbo or stick with the m62 until some1 comes out with a blower replacement.. widebody kit is a waste in my mind.. the lines on the SS s/c are already nice

I think twincharging is very difficult. It seems turbo or procharging will be best. Check out my thread, this is one possible solution to twicharge, BTW, very complex.

yes i know that twincharging isnt the best for speed. for me its all about bragging rights. besides for speed me and my buddy are going to start a twin turbo 350 75 corvette. were aiming for 9s or low 10s

widebody's can be cool hell look at donna's hers is awesome however thats totally custom i think the actual "kits" i've seen look grotesque.. i vote save your money or go full turbo conversion or procharger when that comes out... basically i vote get rid of the heaton it's holding the car back because of the massive amount of heat it produces.
heat+high compression+bad tune+combustion = boom

if your seriously making a thread about whether you should put a body kit on your car or turbo it , then you have a little rice in you
the thread title should be turbo vs twinscrew , not twincharged vs rice kit , on second thought its so damn hard to tune for a twincharger i dont know why you would want one

with the money u would spend on the widebody kit work + paint you could do 2 twincharged setups...its no joke how much labor and paint costs to pull it off.
trust me as i talk from experience. unless you plan on hardcore competing at car shows and such, stick with performance.
