Where Turbos have the upper hand is in the insane power levels, because you can add two huge turbos as opposed to one large supercharger ( centrifugals don't count ) |
Why wouldn't they? A supercharger is a forced induction device, so centrifugals count and while I'm being technical, so should turbos.
And I should add, funny cars use nitromethane. That kinda helps when making power. But the fact remains that they produce ~8000 hp and ~7000 lbft of torque. If I've done my math correctly (I probably haven't), in 1 run down the dragstrip they produce enough power to run your house for about 3 hours.
