I think its time to take some action....
depends on how far your willing to go......the TT is def faster and better, but unless your going to build the motor, or do a certain amount of mods its not going to run to its fully potential, also chances of blowing your motor or having engine problems of any sort are higher........supercharger is pretty easy; quick noticeable power, much cheaper and not as many necessities, much more of a daily driver without worries......also your automatic so i would say go supercharger

If not and want to maximize your performance with a set amount of money, then do all of the basic Auto Tranny upgrades, cooling, etc... and Vortech it and get all of the other goodies to go along with it to have a strong safe car.
Stillen is a waste of money imho. Vortech I feel is the only SC that is worth the money.

yea it shouldnt be too bad for me to install.. of course, ill get some help, becuase im not danny or anything..
but im definatley gonna do it, just a matter of when i get the money for it.
and.. im not spending 20k on a TT, so i guess thats kind of out of the question. and i ddont want to deal with a blown engine.. or rebuilding it...changing plugs and injectors and all that..

this has been debated to death...i've driven a greddy TT g35 with a built motor and a Z with a vortech. Unless you want to spend big money...go with the vortech, it's plenty fast.
The TT is sweet though...but read up over on my350z, it depends on the size of your wallet really.

Don't take this personally, but I'm sick of people saying that you shouldn't go turbo or high power because you have an auto. Turbo autos are actually faster than manual autos (look at the supras) for 2 main reasons: tq converter, and no boost loss during shift.
In order to hold the power, you have to upgrade a 6MT clutch and flywheel, which can cost you anywhere from 2,000-3,000 depending on how much you want to spend. FYI, auto tranny upgrades are cheaper (VB and tq converter) or slighly higher (fully built tranny) and will hold the power just as good and shift FASTER. Hell, I chirped 4th last night on my stock VB
OP: don't let anyone tell you not to turbo your auto...they've obviously never driven one
+1 to what ttrank said. I had a Vortech, and now twins. There is no comparison. 400 ft/lb at 3k...sit back and enjoy the ride.

Instant Torque= TT
More predictable power= Supercharger
Best option for someone not looking to make over 400whp in their daily driver I would say get the TN kit and put a UTEC in there. But what do I know. I've only built two motors and had every headache and little problem you can have. Jeremy knows what kind of freak stuff happened to my last motor. What do you think he went 10.4 with? LOL
To be safe on either kit you should use the UTEC or something equivalent.

I would love to see anyone have a SC, then get a TT and come back and pick the SC. You don't have to use all the potential to enjoy the benifits of a TT.

Potential goes to the TT. But the G Coupe is going to be my daily driver; the Vortech is easier on the stock block because of its progressive power. TT's have a surge of low end torque That's not something I want on a stock block. Not only that, getting aftermarket TT's in SoCal is a huge risk im not willing to take.
