[Black Tire]

Could we try to save what I think is a very useful thread before everyone just pushes it aside and says, "do more research" ?

How about details as to why you chose a supercharger. Also, do you have an opinion as to the type you think is best and why, roots, centrifugal, or screw?

Could you give some details about why you think someone would choose one or the other? That way we might be able to learn something in a short period of time that would prompt us to do some more targeted research. You can see that Cojonudo has been trying:

I think this is the kind of evaluation/comment that could be helpful in answering this useful thread:

I personally love my jdl turbo kit on the car, it adds that missing drama that the car needed.

I have read a lot about this topic as well, but very few people who detail in a post why they chose, or advocate, one solution over the other. When they do, it is usually buried deep in a discussion that is really about some other specific topic.

Here is another example of a USEFUL comment of this type (but on the topic of tires):

If you see only a few snows each year, then all season tires are all you need. If, however, you see a lot of snow and ice all winter long, then winter tires would be your best option.
