If it was mine, I would combine the 2 potions you want. 350 with a supercharger! But then again mine would have
wheel wells rusted out and 8 shades of primer
just so it looks like a turd. Then hit the switch for the cut outs and watch out rice burners (at the track of course).

if u get the turbo kit it might not have as much power u can pull out of a 350 with mods but my buddy has a typhoon thats pussing 600hp but thats with alot of mods so u can reach high power with a 350 gas to get over 300 hp i hope u have deep pockets i personaly would turbo it because you will get a bit better gas mileage and u will also be one of the few that do something different than putting a 350 in it everyone does it

funny how many people don't get that S10 is the Chevy version & S15 is the GM version. i guess only the Typhoon's came with nice paint, as well?

Now i wonder out of these two options which would be the best

bolting a 350 with no adders right up at around 240hp or turboeing it like the typhoon/cyclone

Really im looking for which one is cheaper which one will have better fuel economy and which one will add more power

im leaning toward the 350

definately the SB. an i hope you never went with doing a Syclone/Typhoon conversion, it's stupid what those parts are going for. waaaaay cheaper to do a Banks kit (or anyone of the aftermarket guys).

huh? kinda shooting yourself in the foot there.


but i agree with ya on that. every Tom, Dick and Harry drops in a SB & thinks they have a bad-*** ride. sooooo not the case. we transplanted a '94 W-code driveline into my brother's Summer Dime, and it takes a SB everytime. to much work to engineer the rear end in those to handle the heavier engine & torque.

also IMHO, to really see the real benefits of a turbo 4.3, it has to be AWD
otherwise you will just spin unless you modify the suspension so itll stick
and if you plan on doing that you might as well go with a small block

Put in the 350. a turbo is most effective at high RPM's. IMHO i would do the 350 and save up for a little bit then invest in a nice turbo after you replace headers, air intake, and possibly throttle body.

you can buy a driveable-built 350 from 1,000-3,000 bucks. then down the road you can add a turbo or supercharger, or even do a bigger swap.
