both are good, both work by increasing pressure to the manifold. the plus of supercharging is the ease of installation. the plus of Turbocharging is better HP gains across the entire band. so go either way .

yes, usually these come as kits an will have all the parts needed. the only real change will be the ECU tuning, some come with a box or you may need to send your ECU in for tuning. we have done alot of mustang and Corvette superchargers it is a nice upgrade and there constantly. NOS is great, cheap but limited. just find someone who has done the kit first this may save you some headaches because if you dont know all the bugs you will be hitting your head against a wall until you figure them all out.

This should really be in Forced Induction Tech.. there are also several massive threads in that forum discussing the super versus turbo. I recommend only paying attention to the last few pages of them...

Later.

From what steve has told me and explained to me, if your looking to go big go Turbo if your find with the 250whp or less than stay with the supercharger that RIPP Mods has just put out.

But if you wanna run like 17psi and be at like 275whp or something close to that, then go with the turbo
