Mike, all the fast guys are going turbo on their SRT-6's : )

I have more than a few cars, one is a miata (with 250,000 miles now) that has had both a lysholm style supercharger and (ball-bearing) turbo (both kits from Corky/BEGI).


It is hard to beat the instant-on of a belt driven Supercharger .... but turbos definitely have their place
and with the advent of ball-bearing center sections, turbos can perform so close to a supercharger, you wouldn't notice the difference (accept the better gas mileage and the reduced strain on the motor .... keep in mind, it can take 20-30 HP to spin a supercharger).
