turbo, twin turbo, or supercharger?


I have recently come accross some extra cash. I am curious about the hellion turbo and twin turbo kits, but everyone seems to say that superchargers are better. I just want 600 hp to the wheels. My 331 dynoed at 425hp so I dont need much more to get there but it would be cool to just have that extra in your face horse power out of nowhere if i want you know?

turbo,turbos are more adjustable than a supercharger, and when sized right you can get boost at almost any rpm. pluming a turbo flat out sucks. room under the hood and underhood heat are some problems more common with a turbo. a supercharger is an easier install, and can also make boost at lower rpms when sized right, but except for pully changes they arn't adjustable and you'll get bored quick. In general its a toss up imo.
