Hey guys,

I know this isn't a PT car, however, there is some good technical articles on a TT SBC buildup and stuff.

Yep, awesome car, great guy. Didn't break the bank on the motor either.

Well I was thinking of building a twin turbo set up using Gale Banks system but I think if I'm going to do some thing like this I'll be using a ATI Pro Charger in place of the 2 turbos.

only because of the total cost when done

I'd like to see more Gen 2 Camaro projects as well.

In regards to turbo charging & super charging, what are the pros and cons?(outside of the norm). I'm on a tight budget myself but I would like to give either a try. Also, does anyone have any previous experience(s) with tuned port injection? I know there's limits to what you can expect out it but I'm not looking to set any world records.

well, as far as the comparison between turbo charging and supercharging, its pretty simple. The supercharger uses power from the engine to make more power, but you dont gain the power that the supercharger uses. Turbos don't use anything but exhaust gases and act as a compacting windmill. I'd go with turbo's if they're in your budget, just because they're damn cool and don't use as much power, however they do tend to take up a bit more space under the hood if you run twin turbos. a single turbocharger might make decent power for you, stay in budget and keep real estate under the hood clear. A well developed system will virtually eliminate turbo lag too. I know there's a person or two from Banks drifting around here somewhere, you might want to get in contact with them if you'd like some advice, they seem to be extremely knowledgable guys (considering this is their job).

As for the TPI system and its capabilities, I don't have too much knowledge on this YET, so I'll leave it to the other guys to chime in :)

good luck and hope this all helps!
