Supercharger vs. Turbo - Which is best for Torque?

[lovbyts]

Depends on the turbo you want you could use a smallish turbo and run medium boost esp with the volumetic efficency of the v8 engine you have you wouldn't have to go wild to break the 600bhp mark.

You could go for a rotrex supercharger which is basically the inlet side of a normal turbo which will hit plenty of boost and there is plenty of kits for your car. You may need to run bigger injectors and fuel pump with your high comp. 11.5 is high enough but modern turbos run that comp but they have knock and map sensors running all the time to pull the boost back if needed.

Yeah and all that gets to be a big PITA and $$$ quickly. Ive been lucky compared to many I have read about. I went from stock 9b twin turbos and 360 injectors too 13g twin tubos, boost controller, 550 injectors, high flow fuel pump, air fuel controller, ping sensor and about $200 every time you want/need to run it on a dyno for tuning.

Unfortunetly as you know lb bhp comes at a price especially when you have done the na mods already there is very little head room left in the engine.

Any form of forced induction will cause the car to need extra fuel etc. And changing the injectors isn't too hard but the ecu that may be needed isn't cheap but certain standard ecus you can flash etc and use them.
