[QUOTE="CableGuy, post: 125592, member: 287"] All depends on your power goals......... Below 800, I say supercharger. Above, turbo is a better choice. There are lots of 1K+ RWHP Vettes running around with superchargers, but at those power levels reliability is questionable. Most of them are track only cars at that point. The strain on the belt drive system when trying to make that much power and spin the blower that hard is pretty extreme (ask me how I know......). :Banghead: Supercharging is a more reliable system in general for realistic power goals. That is why most manufactures use them vs turbo systems. The amount of piping, oil cooling, etc.... required with a turbo makes them not only harder to install, but harder to maintain. If you really want to reach for the stars with your power goals, a supercharger with a good shot of nitrous will get you there. That's what I'm doing with my latest build. Just my $0.02 :D [/QUOTE]
