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....
