You blower supercharger guys who haven't owned a non 4 cylinder turbo have no idea how nice they are and how they pull from the bottom up. My last fun car was a 2004 SL 600 with the twin turbo 5.5L V12 and Rentech tune. From memory, it put out 750 ft-lbs from 1500 RPM up. It had a torque curve that looked like Abe Lincolns top hat. You could add 1/2 throttle on the freeway, and within .25 seconds, you had full boosts and pulling past anything WITHOUT downshifting. If you floored it and were going less than 45MPH, it would drop into 2nd and lay rubber. (actually, the nanny only let it continuously chirp)

That's something you don't get with a supercharger, and don't come close to getting with a paxton type centrifugal belt driven compressor.

And if your running a roots type blower with no charge cooler, your waisting your time and money. By the time you do all you have to do to prevent detonation, and subtract the HP consumed by the blower itself, you've gained almost NOTHING but increased your fuel consumption by 75%.

Yea, I pull no punches after a few beers.
