Why would you go with a poll on this? Do you really want a bunch of people who have had no experience with this pick one? I don't know the first thing about SCing an engine do you want me to just chose one of the four? Seriously will you go with the setup that gets the most votes? Better to educate yourself and hang around those that do know the SC to get the right setup...a poll isn't going to do that for you.

2.9 and 60's or 2.9 and 42's. Start small......enjoy that supercharger before you do anything regretable

well ur right.. i wouldnt listen to you.. i am educated in this field and my main reason for creating this thread was to talk to people who have these types of setups on the LSJ's or LE5's and hear constructive critizism from them... i put the poll up to 1.) give an idea of what i want and 2.) hear from people who have all those combinations and to see if they have any bad experiences..

i honestly dont know

but i would personally go with the 2.9 and 60s because the smaller u start going, the more cooling mods u need, also how much power can the 2.4 engine handle?

yeah i want to do that but its sucha waste of money... whether i go stock or 2.9 now its the same price then i would have to pay again take the blower off retune etc etc

so i think im going to just go 2.9 now with 60's then i wont have to pay twice for everything

i'm 2.9 w/ 42's and i know there is more power to be had - i'm considering the 2.8 w/ 60's, a h/e and a good tune....you should do the same. you won't regret it and really, its not that much more expensive
