Want to SC my LT-need advice from the pros

I want to start saving for a Supercharger for my 2.2. is it worth to supercharge my 2.2, or just save up for a swap 2.0SC engine? im a little confused about what to do. so for now im just trying to save a load of cash because it seems either option is going to be pricey.

if you search the for sale threads you should be able to do it for around 1500 just for a sc kit. doing a full lsj swap properly would probably cost more than the car is worth.

ive had a supercharged setup before it wasnt that pricey.

if you can find a full kit on here, that has everything, i mean everything. then thats the cheapest route.
i think zzp has a full kit for 2.5k
if you switch to a lsj might as well go turbo. or if your going to go that route just buy a damn SS.
im looking at getting a used SS that way its covered by warranty

Swapping your engine out for a 2.0 = FTL

yeah def, i think im going to go turbo big time! i am saving up now. hopefully i find a good build and someone to help me when i buy all the parts.

One more question- i fi go turbo, will i have to put my muffler back on? i deleted it and ran straight pipe. or will i just need to order a turbo back exhaust?

you just need a downpipe. The less restrictive the exhaust, the better. But it will be a lot louder, so you shoukd run a regular catback exhaust. How much money you have saved up? I got essential turbo parts for sale!
