Supercharge Or Turbo?

I so disagree with that. And I have a knife in a gun fight in this section.


Heres a flip side for ya.

Being a turbo needs exhaust to spin the whole system to create pressure, how much HP are you loosing to drive the turbo and create pressure.

The exhaust must be slowed down since the turbo is creating pressure and will need more pressure to drive it. Bottleing up the exhaust inorder to drive the turbo can't be good for HP. So I wonder what kind of losses are there?

He is making a good point. I see there isn't much love here for the centrifugal supercharger. People forget how quickly the swept the market and it oh so depends on what you are looking for power wise and where you want it. If you think about it, it has the turbo technology incorporated into it. I choose the dual F2 and will match it up with any twin turbo. My reasoning is that I want my power on the short end and dare the turbo cars to catch me. Centrifugal supercharger are torque monsters and if you 60ft well, you can do a nice ET. Nothing top ends with the Turbos but centrifugal supercharger aren't to far behind. I'm going big cubic inches long stroke to help suffice the power requirements for the gear drive. In all, it is what ever floats your boat. Non the less, you will pay to play...
