TURBOCHARGE or SUPERCHARGED - The $64 Question

[2FastCobra]

If a turbo is sized to the motor properly it will have no more lag than a supercharger, a lot of the time if set up and tuned right it will be at full boost before the supercharged motor that will be waiting for the motor to turn faster so it can start making boost. You also need lower gears to make the motor spin faster to get a supercharged motor into boost, with a turbo taller gears are better and with the taller gears and all the torque you will be shifting a lot less. My car has 3.08 rear gears and 4 gear will go to 160+ mph and I still have 5th gear. Not trying to Dis any supercharger guys here, just tired of hearing the same old turbo's have lots of lag argument, it is just not the case anymore. Turbo lag is from 8:1 compression 1.5 liter import motors with old school turbo's that had heavy impeller wheels. With the low weight of most of our cars, any power adder will be a blast. Just pick the type that will fit your needs and go have fun.
