Default what to get

I know it is better to drag with a turbo with a auto. but I have a M6 and want to make a drag car.....only drive it on the street a few times a year. So the question is to make a drag car with a M6 will do better with a tubro or a procharger..thanks

id do turbo as it takes less persitic loss.
but then again some people prefer superchargers.
with a turbo the boost should stay the same once you get in the rpm range, just need to shift fast so you dont loose boost, with a supercharger the boost come proportionally with rpm, but you dont drop as much with a stick.

IMO the SC "should" be easier to drive and more consistent with the manual, than a turbo would be.

I also think the optimum camming for the SC will be a better match for the manual, than optimum camming for a turbo would be.
IMO a cam that really takes advantage of the turbo is a better match for an auto.

Then again it all comes down to your preference. You might want to test drive or ride in an example of each to see what you think.
