yea the turbo has been known to make a bit more hp but 400hp is alot no matter what you have under the hood and i would rather have no lag at all but thats just opinions i feel some cars are better with turbos and some are better with superchargers

well although centrifugals techincally don't have "lag" they will not make a noticable amount of boost until about the same time a turbo will and because of significantly more parasitic loss, a turbo will make quite a bit more power. Really...if you have the money, the turbo is the way to go.

nowhere near the same rpm lol. im making 3psi of boost at 2000rpm in 5th gear, no centri is doing that. on the dyno (4th gear) im hitting 12psi of boost at about 3200rpm. a 12psi centri setup at that same rpm is probably makin 3-5psi
