turbo or super charger

RE: turbo or super charger
Depends on what kind of power you want to make and how are you going to drive the car E.G. Dialy driver or track. From what I have read and experienced superchargers have more torque availible at low rpm's. They produce max boost instantly. This makes a carfun to drive light to light. Turbo's can produce really big hp numbers,but they have to build the boost. This type of power can make the car very fast once its gets going. If you are sticking with stock internals and it is mostly going to be a daily driver I would go for a supercharger. Although I have never owned a turbo charged car I do have a supercharger on my 06. Good Luck!

+2. Supercharger streetlight to streetlight FUN factor rating - 10 out of 10. Torque curve comes up quickly and stays flat.

You cant go wrong with a Whipple H.O. or a Kenne Bell. Both are great kits and capable of big power with forged internals. If you want to stay below 450rwhp and maybe keep factory warranty go with Saleen. I went with Roush and I am making good power it just took a lot to do so. If I had the money to do it again, It would definetly be Kenne Bell for me and I would turn the wick way up

I have a Procharger stage II and love very much, boost builds fast comes on about 3,000 rpm's. Makes it nice if it's your D/D. But you what that instant set yourself in the seat feeling then a Root or Twinscrew would be the way to go.

A guy at my local club (props to big bird) provided this link in our forum. A bit of reading, but informative, explains how they all work.
