SC vs. Turbo
I need some opinions here,
I've been thinking about a turbo/supercharger, and I was pretty sure I wanted the PH turbo.... but something changed.
I just found a website that offers the supercharger w/ intercooler they use in the Shelby CS-6. This is supposed to put out more HP than the PH turbo.
So, if youguys had to pick, what would it be?
Shelby CS-6 supercharger w/ intercooler, or PH turbo w/ intercooler?

RE: SC vs. Turbo
turbo will probably give you a better time but people say that a supercharger is safer for th eengine. I really dont know if that is true or not because i have never had an f/i car that i kept more than like 80k miles. In either cas ei think youll be happy. If your not going to the track i think then it depends if you like a supercharger whine or a turbo whistle o_O

Also... if money is not an issue the PH turbo is the way to go!!!

RE: SC vs. Turbo
The site is http://www.hillbankmotorsports.com/i...sort=2a&page=2
its not just this site, its everything I've seen about the CS-6.
Its supposed to be at 350hp at 9lbs of boost. If I remember right Rygen is at 11 lbs and is at 340 something hp? not a big hp difference, but the CS-6 makes more power with less boost.. I think.. lol
*Edit: I just looked at rygen's post on his results after his latest round of mods, and hes only at 320 hp, so if the numbers are right on the CS-6 s/c it pumps out 30 more hp*

RE: SC vs. Turbo
fazm thats partly right, but it depends more on cfm than psi. You can't make more power with a blower pushing the same CFM with the same tune. This is because a blower robs power to make power.
