Roots/ TVS/ Twin Screw superchargers are a lot harder on the engine mainly the rods due to its instant hit of hp and tq vs a centrifugal or turbo which gradually builds power as rpm increase which is much easier on an engine. A turbo is the safest way to make big power since you dont have to worry about slipping blower belts, broken cranks/keyways, brutal WOT hits, pulleys vs eboost2, ect
Hey thanks for giving some insight to my question among this sea of my turbo is better than your supercharger posts. I didn't think that was what this thread was about.

That is a good point. It's just interesting to me to think that maybe a stock motor could take this much extra power being rammed down it's throat.
