If it has to pass emmissions inspections then supercharger, if not then its turbo hands down.

You are putting much more stress on the block then I am with turbo and I made 423.12hp at 8.22 psi and you made 10 psi to do that. You got heads, cams, longtube ???? cause I know bolt on mustang only mustang to hit 400 is hard with 8psi. My cams are hurting my performance just to let you know.

I need to go back to see my tuner cause now I don't have leaks and now it's shows 8.5-9 psi. Doing cobra tank/pump with pprv delete and should be done by 28th,I will let you guys know what # I make now. For easy power and less stress on the block it's hands down TURBO.

Thank you and yes turbo spool sounds great, It's let you know power is coming .WOW your head/cams/exhaust and other bolt-on working really great to make that kind of power out of vortech. That is just awesome .

How is that MMR 900 block working out for you ? Once I was in love with that block and wanted one bad but still no money

yea the mmr 900 shortblock is holding up great

i just dropped down from a 3.60 to a 2.95 pulley and a 10% overdrive crank
so hope to see 16-17psi at 6000rpm this set-up will over spin the blower alittle

but the block is good for it.....

My cams are not turbo cams but na cams. What's happening is cause of high lift na cams causing my turbo to spool slower.
