While turbo boost isn't free to make, it takes far less power to generate turbo boost than the like amount of SC boost.

You seem to be quite informed and experienced, would love to see some of the cars you've built!
Hate to do this, but have to correct you're very spot-on assessment in a couple of aspects.
a) All of our packages are rated at the Flywheel. So 700 horspeower is (drumroll please) 700 horsepower! Pretty incredible I know...
b) It takes 1/3 of a horsepower to spin the rotors on a supercharger. I feel with your experience and wisdom you made a very good point, that is an incredible amount of effort, and think of the incredible stresses a rubber belt puts on the crank shaft too.*
Thanks!
Mike
