which u guys think is better and roughly howmuch

 

I beleive a Turbo charged system is better. Reliable as hell, not everybody and their dog is doing the V-8 Turbo. Scope out mY Turbocharged Monte V-6, it screamed with a T-3 turbo, after it gets back with the T-4 next week it's going to be a killer.

Just something about a Turbo !!! PPSSSSSHHHHH!!!

Absolutely amazing Zippy02!! My new favorite Monte on this site.

 

i wouls put a supercharger on it there's a couple of kit's out there for the lsx there is nothing that looks better then a blower siting on top of a motor the only bad thing it will be siting sidewayz and you will probley need a scoop on your hood

 

seems likeCar Tuning, which also makes a kit for the 3.8, make a good turbo kit for your 5.3's for around $3 big ones. i've heard some horror stories on their customer support... but i've heard more people talk good about them, so it's your call. just keep in mind you're putting a lot of pressure on your cylinders, don't turn the boost up too high without supporting mods and you should be okay. o yeah, check the hp ratings for the tranny... no idea what they are on your V8's

 

Go to ZZP Performance for a turbo,they use Garrett and other quality partsor have a local shop who specializes in race cars using Superchargers,Turbos,NOS build you one like I did. Like Cowboy says, I to have not heard good about Cartuning customer support. Supposed to be almost a 1 man show, so he's to busy to assist. GO TURBO!! probably set you back $5000 to $6000 with a few bells and whistles.

 

ZZP's turbo is for a 3.8... i don't think they make one for the 5.3, but they may be able to figure up something for you.

 

seems split hehe.. i seen the nice scoop somewhere on this forum that would look nice besides that will make me look more muscle car ish as well with the scoop and supercharger... umm basically whats the pros and cons of each and how can i find out what my tanny can handle and ive read depending how much power due to the front wheel drive tranny that might have to get a biffer one... i dont want made *** unless doable hehe but wanna take on the higher end mustangs not just the gt's that i know i can handle..i figure i can get just as much power or equal that of th ehigh end mustangs for less price than what it would cos them to upgrade from the gt price since us montes gotta take the load of chevy muslce for while til a high end z 28 ss camaro euals the higher end stangs im gonna have to take one for the team and do it with monte's

 

well id imagine the gas mileage wit the 5.3 would be horrific...turbo it and add power plus a lil better gas milage, with gas prices these days it should make up the money difference pretty quickly

 

whats gas mileage.. im getting between 18 and 22 depending on how i drove that week and if took highway home or village.. plus needing 91 octane or higher and most only carry 93 which is fine cause the few who have 91 serve 93 which only cost 2 or 3 cents more go figure i never used 87 before i always used 89 with my vechiles just like idea cleaner gas or whatever it does but 87 to 89 cost like 10 cents but 91 to 93 cost like 2 or 3 cents how odd to even serve 91.. but yea last summer when just got car 93 was 3.56 cost me like mid 50 dollar range now costing me easliy 10 more bucks while only getting between 300 to 330 miles per tank.. but heck u cant have a toy car and good gas mileage as well..
