hi, i just got my camaro about a month ago, its a 99 z28 got it out a dealer for $7,000 with 70k miles. i love it only kind of sad thing is that i got it automatic. i got after my friend got his 88 camaro iroc-z (the white one beside mines on the first picture) and its stock supercharge with like 5 boost running about 340hp. well the person that own my car before he had it fix up because he was in a car club, and well lets put it this way i win the iroc like by 3 cars and i dont know whats in it. im a totaly nooob at engines all i know is how to ride it lol. now im thinking about supercharge or turbo chargin it, what would be better?

Welcome to 
Nice car, wheels are not my cup of tea, but rest looks good.
As per supercharging / turboing, there are alot of mods you should probally do first before you look about going down that route. Pretty much all of your bolt on basics. Headers, CAI, Exhaust, Heads / Cam (if your interested in serious numbers), fuel pump, etc.

Nice car though man. I can't wait for the engine pics...it sounds like something is lurking below the hood

Welcome to
Very nice looking car you have, I like the Wings West kit.
Both turbo and supercharger are cool. I like the turbo for the simple reason that you can adjust the boost from inside the car. Just incase you line up with a car you know you can beat, just add a couple pounds of boost and you're set. Or you could lower the boost to make people think you're slower than you really are.
