I don't think I have seen a poll like this one so I figured I would post it up.

As for me I really like the supercharger but I will be putting a turbo in my truck in the near future. :rockon: What sold me on the turbo was when I drove my step dads 1987 GN. After feeling that turbo spool and your neck snap back I was sold. :3g:

I never heard of that shop, I was planning on doing the fabbing with a good buddy of mine but I might look into them.

it all depends, most people can do a supercharger swap on their own

if you go turbo then you have to change the k member on the cobra and the kit itself is almost twice as much and think of the PITA it is to track down the NA intakes.... it is awesome and will always make more hp at the same boost, but im probably going to a twin screw, either way , on a non built block youll still make 600hpsafely whether your turbo or SC

Well if you're looking to maintain the essence of your truck, go blower. If you just want all out power, turbo.

Turbo is too expensive, too mechanically complex, too hard to find a good tuner for, too hard to find a good mechanic for, and did I mention way too expensive?

If you are uber-rich and have lots of time on your hands go turbo.

I went twins screw (Whipple), then went turbo. I will never go back to SC.

I choose both.

My 03' Cobra was supercharged and I loved it.

My 07' 335i is Twin Turbo'd and I love that.

You can't go wrong with either one. Both have a lot of pro's and little cons.
