Supercharger VS Turbo

[NightLife]

whats the pros and cons to each? for street and stip applications.

typically, turbo's are better in every performance aspect when compared to s/c'ers. but s/c'er kits are usually alot cheaper. but i think Cobra Killers new Turbo kit isn't too much more than his s/c kit.

turbos have lag but make ****loads of torque

my Vortech kicks in at about 3000rpm. a properly set up turbo will kick in before that. only roots style blowers make boost sooner. and i don't think they start until 2000rpm.

why though? are they more effiecent at making boost? i know basically nothing about turbos... are they more reliable and more safe?

Yes to all! Would a 911 supercharged or a s/c'd F40 really be the same without their twin turbos? I think not.
Superchargers = cool, but teh parasitic device
Turbochargers = teh efficiency!
