I need to read the FAQ and IMPORTANT threads before posting a question







It's always an ongoing discussion. A LOT of former supercharged guys transfered to turbo for more torque.


The advantage of a turbo from a super is that when tuning a turbo.....it's easier to achieve what you want out of it rather than w/ the super.


But be ready to spend AT LEAST:
-$3500 for a supercharger
-$5000 for a turbocharger



unless you know someone.

Wait until I iron out all the kinks in my new Roots supercharger setup. Once I get it tuned and working right, I'm hoping it will be killer. I'm already seeing almost 7lbs. of boost right off idle (2000rpm)....

That maybe true for a centrifugal SC. For root or screw-type SC, it’s different. Maybe Craig’s car will prove it.

that root supercharger may be better than a turbo but time will have to see after all the stuff is worked out. (craig mack)
