If you've got everything lined out on your setup to the point that this is the last question, pick your favorite.


I prefer turbo.

Are you talking the same power level, or the same boost level?

Dont think it matters...just make sure you have a forged engine and plenty of race fuel if your going to run a lot of boost.

Supercharger = less heat, and backpressure, so less prone to detonation for a given boost level, but still less power at the wheels.

on a turboed car, you will be at higher boost sooner than a blower (boost proportional to rpm) so more boost sooner=more pressure on engine components
