i dont care how much boost your running you cant outpower a true stage 3 blower with some puny ass turbo

thats one sick car...BUT, you cant use that to prove your point...I get where your coming from and all..but still, no one on this website has 50k to drop into an engine... O, and turbos do stomp the **** out of s/c. If you have a nice TT setup or even a nice sized single turbo set-up, it will stomp on the s/c...I dont like turbos at all..In fact I got a procharger coming for my car in june, but still facts are facts...

theres no way to know for sure.. you have to have a TRUE BLOWER on a car vs a turbo'd car of the same exact setup.. EVERYTHING MUST BE EXACT.. rims, tires, weigh, tranny set up, EVERYTHING and youll never see that so you cant prove anything "facts" are not present so dont say its facts


True Blowers create more power.. end of story

yeah its too gah to tell anyways... some day someone will create a giant turbo connected to a supercharger that is feeding the turbo air and then we will say running 100psi aint **** haha

a turbo setup will cost you a pretty penny though, but in the end turbo is better because its free hp/tq compared to supercharger that uses at least 20% of engine power to create more power. the reason not many turbos are ran on the strip is because they are unreliable, ive seen it plenty of time, and the power band is not constant and with a big turbo you get a huge power boost in the middle of your powerband

Just curious how you can say there's no facts about a truly equal comparison, then say blowers definitively make more power?

The simplest logic that I can see is that superchargers have parasitic loss, turbos do not. So all else being equal, a motor with a supercharger will have more parasitic loss than a motor with a turbocharger, and thus transmit less power to the transmission.
