i have an 06 ss/sc with a jbp header, intake and torque dampener..... aka stock.... car is so close to paid off and i want to take that extra 300 every month and put it right back into the car, i just can't decide between the TVS and a turbo swap. i keep reading more and more about both but i'm still stuck. the TVS is tempting because it seems much simpler to install and manage. I don't know much beyond the basics of turbos but really don't want to spend the money on a kit when you can build a kit much cheaper. i feel turbo would gain me much more in the long run though, more power, better fuel economy. i guess I'm looking a little push. i drive 50+ miles a day so i'd like to have good gas mileage (32-33 right now). all my friends have there cars built up to around the 13 second mark and I'm tired of parking my car and riding with them cause i can't keep up. (I'm in the mile high city altitude = Fail)

opinions, pros and cons??

 

any local tuners in your area specialize or have good knowledge or one or the other??? that might help sway which way u go

 

i have a good friend that tunes all the grand prix around here, and they all run superchargers..... he said he was more then willing to tune me

 

bump

 

No one has anything else to contribute?

 

id go with a turbo setup. more expensive/complex but well worth it. i built my 06 2.2 as a daily driver. my goal was to build a fuel efficient daily driver with a shitload of power so i went with a gt35 turbo with the larger 84a/r exhaust housing for more lag. turbo spools up at ~4500rpm which gives me the city driving economy i wanted and the power when i need it. right now trifecta is doing the tuning for 20-25 lbs of boost. its currently only running 10 lbs until i get the wiseco low compression pistons, eagle rods, cometic head gasket and arp head studs. you obviously dont have to go to this extreme but 10 psi would be a nice daily driver and trifecta claims they tune these all the time and make 270 whp on a 2.2 with 10 lbs of boost.
