Question Turbo vs SuperCharger

I know a lot of you have turbos and superchargers. I need help deciding which way to go. Any advice would be much appreciated. I'm looking for 300+ rwhp. Thanks

If you want 300+rwhp you'll have to go with a turbo. XS, TBKO, Toyomoto, PHR, and Paisley all have turbo kits. Check them out and research before making a decision.

Ethan, the car is sick man! It is just so fast! Did you see the dyno? Flat torque curve from 3800 - redline! That makes the car amazing to drive. Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing you at the meet. I told Jarrett you would be at the meet and was excited. How do you know him?

markman130, I know I am a bit biased, but check out the pictures of my car. Powerhouse Racing did an amazing job one my car and I would highly recommend them!

You can't pull 300rwhp with an A51 S/C...especially with an auto. The old one was like 250rwhp and the new one somewhere around 275 or something. Manual might be able to break 300+ with an exhaust. Other than that, the only S/C that comes to mind to break 300rwhp would probably be the SRT Stage 3 or 4's maybe. Face it, if you want to make over 300 easily, you'd better go turbo.

PS--TURBOIS, what turbo do you have in your car?

haha....lay some money down and tell me that it cant push over 300 rwhp

first off...the new kit will dyno in around 255-265 on an auto....add the header and exhaust, and you are looking at about 285 rwhp.....with some fine tuning and custom 3 inch exhaust....you can get there.....

plus their stage II will also feature an intercooler and also a smaller S/C pulley....so all in all....you could top out around the 320+ mark.....
