...add a supercharger to a 3S-GE engine? Or am I better off just getting the 3S-GTE?

proabbly would be better to get the 3S-GTE then supercharging the 3S-GE as a supercharger would probablly cost a bit(not quiet sure) were as with the 3S-GTE would be better as the motor came out with the turbo less muckin about too

yeah that's what i figured at first..
then i thought about all the other stuff you need/can get with a turbo...
plus superchargers give better low-end acceleration right? i dont know much about under-bonnet stuff, but i do know my lil camry doesn't go fast or hard enough and toyotas are great for engine swapping..
and i realise if i'm going to upgrade i need to also upgrade my suspension/exhaust/gearbox..

yes you are right on the supercharger theory as with turbos you have to wait for it to kick in once a turbo has thou it will fly but yeah look into it and see which one you are happier with first it might be cheaper to supercharge the 3S-GE but don't know (but personally I'd go the 3S-GTE). Defiantly upgrade your suspension, exhaust hmm dunno 2.25" might be a good size for the motor (on my 3S-FE was planning to go 2.25" but starting to have doubts as ToyCam tells me he lost power with his so I'm going 2" on mine just to be safe) have goodies like extractors, a high flow cat etc talk too a few people on here and a few exhaust shops they will give you Ideas as for the gearbox have been told that all 3S gearboxes will fit behind any 3S motor so you may get away with the same gear box is it manual or auto Camry?
cheers

its an auto..
yeah my 3S box will fit, but can it handle it lol...i know camrys are infamous for auto trannies giving up the ghost, so i was just going to replace it anyway.. 
i'll probably go for a 2 1/4 inch exhaust with a nice sports muffler at the back..
suspension is first on the list as my struts need replacing anyway so i figure i might as well do the lot all at once..

yes the old auto Camry there slow of the mark comparred to a manual one  my parents is an auto good on a highway with the overdrive feature but of the mark no where near as quick as my manual. that stuff I told you was for a manual Camry with the gearboxes (sorry) the auto transmission in the Camrys but however aren't really designed for big revs there more so for ecconimical driving the celica's auto may or may not be different there has to be a box for it that would suit though
