RE: Superchargers! Why not turbos?
I went SC for these reasons.....
Could not afford the turbo price + installation cost.
I could afford the SC and did the install myself.
I love my SC no doubt but If I had the money for the unit and the install I would have gone PH.

RE: Superchargers! Why not turbos?
Theres a couple of reasons most people dont turbo their stangs, 1 is the lack of space in the engine compartment for the turbo and all of the piping, while its not impossible it is very difficult. 2 most people think that turbos are more complicated, which theyre not. And a lot of muscle car people think that turbos are for "ricers'

10.65 @131mph, if you follow the link to pmpparts.com you'll see that's what their shop car ran, not sure how much boost they were running though.
