Supercharger V.S. Turbocharger

ok so money is NO factor in this question. what would give me more torque and horsepower in a stock B, D, and K series engines? which would be more in what engine? i personally lean toward the supercharger but thats because im biased. the only reason i say in a stock block is to make it a fair debate. thanks!

Turbo will almost always give you more power, except for maybe on a K where you can use better blowers on a Superchraged set-up.

It's all about where you want your powerband, small track, big track, highspeed, lowspeed. Do some research.

Re: Supercharger V.S. Turbocharger

yeah, turbos have turbo lag... get a small one if you want faster response but lower power, a bigger one if you cant more lag but bigger HP numbers.... etc. blah blah blah.. I think you want a turbo setup if your the type to continually keep upgrading things here and there.
