I'm not sure that putting a turbo on or supercharger is pretty much the same. I'd rather work on the front of a motor then exhaust IMO

yes yes I know what a turbo looks like,I have one the size of my head sitting on my semi

but what is the function of a turbocharger? now what is the function of a supercharger? the thing that makes the turbo more complex is the way it achieves that function

but that is the essential difference, how it produces airflow is everything. Turbo doesn't cost hp

Well with the gears you have you would be perfect for a KB, but i love allKB mustangs. If you want high dyno hpnumbers then go and get an intercooled procharger.

but like I said 'technically' they are the same, they are both compressors

yeah they both give you the high bost and hp that your looking for , with the s/c you force induction using a bit of hp from your crankshaft to produce alot more hp... turbos use exhaust that compresses and then forces induction, but the deal with turbocharging is that it recycles the hott air and uses it again, when the supercharger uses new air all the time.... the more cold air you get into your engine better performance, but you still get more hp from turbocharging....except they lagg...which kenne belle are you talking about mustangkiler???how much will the kit cost???hp gained?torque?where can i get it???anyone else on which i should be looking for???and something that provides the power but isnt that loud...

If you know how to do turbo's u shouldn't have lag. I've always been told there is no such thing as lag, that if you had lag, you had the wrong turbo
