[QUOTE="geepaw, post: 6104538, member: 10687"] we are really comparing apples to oranges or should I say oranges to grapefruit. Turbos's give you a larger torque rise over a given rpm band (ie more acceleration) when they come on boost. The torque peak is generally higher as well. Twin screws give you that big block torque at most RPM. I have driven fast (not as fast as many turbo cars on here) turbo, centrifugal blwr and twin screws. I love the torque (and personally prefer) of a s/c, but the rush you get from the a turbo car is more exciting to me. It is gearing and the "area under the power/torque curve" is what I judge a good set-up by. Some great comments on this. Oh & I don't care if this is considered off topic by the wanna be svt police.
