I then switch to Ptuning with gen 2 gtx2867r i dont think i can recommend superchargers anymore with the turbo power is still linear and still pulls all the way up to redline. All that turbo noises that low end and mid range tq is fuckin awsome. Rotrex setup i made 277whp 200wtq at 8 psi with my gtx2867r i made 323whp 271wtq at 9 psi

I have the SBD and so do a few guys here in Atlanta and I know some guys personally who have driven 55-60k miles without turbo or engine failure on a "supposedly" cheap turbo.

I'm still going over this, but I think I'm going with an edelbrock supercharger because I want instant torque and low maintenance. This is my summer daily and a supercharger is easy to set up and very low maintenance for the HP I want. I want to make a max of 350-400 on E85. I think over 400HP you start to break a lot of parts. To get over 400HP a turbo may be a better choice. A supercharger offer an easy set amount of power. A turbo is way easier to add boost and power but over 400 HP will probably need a engine rebuild and you are dealing with a lot of heat with a turbo and becomes higher maintenance. With turbos you also have to find a kit that makes the power where you want it.. But a turbo is great if you like to tune, change from 5,10,15lbs of boost just by changing maps. A supercharger you have to change pulleys but is only effective to a point. I'm going with a supercharger if the stock engine and car could safely hold 500HP I would get a turbo but it's personal choice you can get a turbo to almost replicate a supercharger with more available top end....
