You going to do a build thread? PM me if I can help. I have access to a non-automotive machine shop. I can not grind cranks or do a valve job but I can make just about type of braket.
Nah probably not. I have access to a full CNC machine shop whenever I like so I'll do most of that myself. I may not end up doing an M90 build after all (or finishing mine) as I may be buying a V8 F-Body this spring. Depends on if I get another raise or no
As for the intake, it's mostly bent aluminum with a BFH
The way I see it fellas... If you can do the work yourself, neither is any worse than the other. Turbo makes more hp on the whole, but a supercharger makes INSTANT hp as well as much simpler in terms of parts. Once you get the supercharger to fit, it's much easier to make it work than it is a turbo. Turbo has a lot of oiling issues and will be up and down all the time. Be smart with the boost and you won't have any problems.

In other other type of racing that allows turbo and supercharges the turbo almost always win out. All except drag racing. The instant power you mentioned is why. You will have a tuff time finding an Automatic trans or supercharger in any race car other then a drag car. They are out there but hey are few and far between.
I just prefer superchargers in general. No lag and less maintenance intensive. Yes I will make less power, big deal. I'll be one of the VERY few and far between with an M90 strapped to their Camaro lol.
today i went to the local bone-yard with my boss he found a SC from a regal and was saying i need to strap that bad boy on my car lol instantly thought of this thread not to mention i have a 3.4L
