Stock 400 Piston Boost

This is why I like the idea of nitrous..
when you already have an extremely powerful engine it's only at those extreme moments once every great once in awhile you want that extra boost to power.. running a turbo or a blower or whatever it's always constantly running event when you don't need it....

There is a lot wrong with this statement. ^^ A turbo street engine by nature is a mild engine when not in boost. Statistically lower compression ratio, mild (ish) camshaft timing etc. Unless there is load the turbocharger is really doing nothing. A supercharger is driven by the crank, always spinning but not always making boost. Do you have experience with either one of these types of forced induction?
