Giant generalization: Supercharger's are very linear in power production, more downlow torque generally, etc. Turbo's are capable of much higher power numbers, but there's a delay in the power onset. You need to do a lot of reading in the forced induction subforum and get a lot more driving experience in my opinion before you take on forced induction or that kind of power level in this car. If you've had experience with powerful rearwheel drive cars in the past, that's different.


300whp is the highest I've seen from the Vortech* with intercooler, E85, etc. 230-250whp for an average.

That would be pump gas numbers. That kit has done over 360whp on E85.
