Yea man

havent decided between:

GTM STG 1 SC

or

GTM STG 1 TT

price and engine longevity are the biggest factors for me. Im only looking to get 450whp

GTM stg 1 sc won't get you to 450whp, stage 2 will but it's still not done yet. TT kit on 6psi will do 450whp for sure. Stillen kit will do 450whp with some tweaks but I won't go there. A brand new SC kit is a bit cheaper (1-2k) and easier to install (less labor).

As for which will last longer, I suppose thats debatable. Some claim that the added stress that a belt driven SC adds is harder on the engine than the swift kick in the crank of torque that the TT provides. I believe that although the SC adds some extra work for the engine, the linear power delivery is much less harsh on the internals and will last longer.

yea that's what i've been told. I'm waiting for the Stg 2 SC to be released.

Does the enginge NEED to be removed to install a SC. Trying to figure out if it's worth the 4-5k for labor.

No way, the engine does NOT need to come out at all for an SC install, 4-5k is a lot for just labor on installing the kit.

I know how long it takes to install a supercharger, thats why I said 4-5k sounds like a lot of its just labor. The kit can and has been done over a weekend/several nights. It's no more than 20 hours of labor for a DIY.
