Back on topic.... comparing superchargers and turbos is like comparing apples and oranges. Normal off the shelf superchargers dont past 10-12psi but they put that power to the ground were its needed, low rpms. This is great for v-8's sense they mostly dont rev too high unless the whole engine is built right.
I kinda began to guess this, after reading all of everbody's posts... I'm sold on a supercharger - that's what I'll be getting, however, I want to install it on my own. and I'll probably go roots, but from what I've read so far in this thread, their not good in the high 5000+ rpm range, is this true?

Which is why I won't get a centrifugal supercharger: too many negatives, but I just want to make sure I don't desroy my car - that's why I keep asking these questions.
I've learned a lot so far. but untill I get under the hood and start doing stuff, it's all speculation, and textbook readings bouncing around in my head right now.
