i totally agree, i have been a turbo guy my whole life, but in this case i am not going for crazy power and the charger will do just fine. With a turbo it is going to cause more problems because of the low end torque it would make, but the charger doesn't make that much low end torque so it is not going to be as rough on the motor and drivetrain. I believe i stated before that this wil be my daily driver and just a fun little z, while i will be building my 94 supra i picked up, big project, and that will be a big single turbo, with a stroked motor, no jokes there but also not a daily driver. needs lotts of work though as of now.

 

mmm I've always loved supras, good luck!

 

me too, lol, who doesn't, just picked it up like week ago, my boys who has same setup i will have went 10.4 last night at the track and they kicked him off cause no roll bar yet, lol, one run he figured might as well go ***** out and see what he could get before they kicked him off. that was on street radials too. . so sick. . really can't wait for that.

 

How so?? What's wrong with power-on-demand???

 

Turbos are more efficient than superchargers and when sized correctly can spool almost as quick with none of the parasitic drag. There are downsides especially when you get into big boost (longer spool times, fitment issues, etc). But for the most part turbocharging is a better idea.

 

Couldn't have said it better. Main advantage of supercharger is linear, predictable power delivery (of course, we don't have even that in the SRT-6 motors, because they're clutch-engaged and aren't always on like regular blowers).

 

with a good turbo setup these days there is next to no lag unless you get into huge turbo's and im saying huge t88's and ****. i had a 50 trim srt-4 and that didn't even take much to spool, i was in full boost by 3 grand. In my opinion turbo's are better if you are going for big power because it is easier to get more power out of a turbo than a charger, and for the most part turbo kits make more power than a supercharger kit along with torque, it all depends on what you want and a big factor what your price range is, turbo kits are quite a bit more for the most part, tuning is more complex with turbo also, if i had the money to blow on my z i would go twin turbo all day, they spool very fast and make big power, with better stronger rods and a twin turbo kit i could put down over 600whp all day long safely on stock block, and i am saying well over 600whp, but thats not my plans for the z just want some more power for tooling around. i mean i drive the thing to work everyday, which is a 40 minute trip one way. And with almost double the power will run good enough for my dd.
