at what point do you think they reach a non streetable utility? And if there's a certain HP limit, wouldn't SC's hit that wall as well potentially?

good point.

heat on a turbo set up isnt that difficult to handle though. higher capacity radiator, along with heat extractors on the hood would andle that

....however a good turbo setup should be capable of higher peak numbers than a supercharger. When you are talking about 700-900+ hp cars, I dont see some tubing or spending a few hundred more to handle heat being much of a problem

Exactly my point with streetability. Moving your powerband upward necessitates other mods to use that power. For example by using a monster turbo or supercharger(centrifugal style), you will need very low gears to make use of it. By having low gears, you will also need a much better clutch or higher stall torque converter. I think that most people who have ever owned one would agree that a 4puck race clutch or a 4k rpm stall converter are just not practical for everyday use. I had a 4 puck clutch in my Turbo Supra, and it was impossible to drive in traffic. There was no slip, the clutch is either fully engaged, or disengaged. I had a stiff neck everday till I sold that car.
