Default turbo vs. supercharger(LT1)

Given a boost vs. boost all-out 1/4 drag race or straight-away, which would do better(hp wise) turbo or SC'er? I mean X psi on a turbo vs. X psi on a SC'er, which would yield more usable rpm power( up to 6500)? I know its a general question, but a turbo(that I'd want)+ install would be about 10k. A SC'er would be about $6500. Big difference. I'm weighing my option on FI. Don't want to start any arguing or debating, just want to hear options and experiences. Thanks!

Adding meth inj.($400), labor($1800), injectors, bap, gagues, wideband O2 sensor, boost controller($400-$500), and shipping. It adds up quick.

Actually, applying meth and gauges and wideband to a Procharger raises it's total cost to around $8000. Still, its a $2k difference.

I like the way a supercharger gives you the power more linear vrs. the instant power of all at once. Driving on the street it is much easier.

Please no turbo vs supercharger vs nitrous vs the world posts. They just end up in arguments and nothing but opinions, plenty of research material on the subject on here and the internet..
