Supercharger foe a 92 will be easy to find and install, turbo hard to find an install kit

turbo's have lag. Good for imports that launch at 5000 rpm :P

So ur sayin supercharger is better?

you can get turbos with out alot of lag but I'd go supercharger, you get better out of the hole throttle respose,

I rip around in a supercharged LT1, very impressive, can light up third no problem (when the stupid traction control will turn off I have to fix that 1 of these days)

I would'nt in any way shape or form sink the kind of money involved with a supercharger/turbo into the dreadful 305.

you could always put the supercharger on a 350 at a later date

EDIT just seen RS is it a tbi if soo spend your money on a tpi, LT1 or LS1

I have an LS1 6spd available for $6500 and its a fairly straight forward swap. Lt1's run for about $4500 with a 6spd. You can pick up a 5spd conversion for about $1000 and a tpi 350 for about $1500. This is a really simple swap

ive got a lt1 with t56 that may be available.

but if you want to turbo/supercharge any of the motors mentioned before you better realize you either build the motor for boost or you will rebuild soon if you push more then 8 psi unintercooled untuned motor.

the supercharger is a easier setup as the kits are plentiful and you can get a deal on a used one, and relativly easy to install. personally id never pay for a supercharger install!!!

the turbo charger may have to be custom, i sell turbo kits (click my sig) and may be able to modify it for a third gen.

the turbo has endless boost abilities and is better then the supercharger IMO. but it all depends on your needs and wants.

the supercharger builds boost linearly(sp) meaning as your rpms go up so does your boost because it being belt driven. now this may be and advantage if you have traction issues. the turbo can build peak boost well before 3k rpm and hold that boos till red line. thus the turbo provides a better "area under the curve".

the issue with turbo lag is almost non existance on a big v8, with the proper sized turbo matched to your application there can be almost no lag.

you cant just go throwing parts together or youll end up with a mess and hate your car. you need to do some research and figure out what you want from the car. many times this can eb achieved with something as simple as forged pistons and nitrous.
