You asked me if I was saying I prefer the way a turbo responds, or the way it responds vs a SC in a thread titled SC or Turbo. I seriously doubt I would be compairing it to the way nitrous makes a motor respond in this thread. I am not starting the supercharger vs turbo debate. I prefer a turbo......I like the way when the motor comes under a load is spools the turbo vs having to increase engine rpm to get the added benefit of a SC. I like that with a turbo it is wasted energy vs using the engine to create the power. Look at what alot of the super fast cars are going to and vehicles designed to tow. Turbo......

You can build a complete turbo kit or supercharger system for around $5k on these truck, less if you buy used. I'm installing a rear mount on a friend's 2500 Sierra and he will have about $2k into everything when we are done: kit, 8.1 injectors, walbro fuel pump, and tune.

Outlaw 10.5 cars? I went to Texas for TX2K10 and I don't recall one car (other than one of the guys with us had a CTS V) being SCed. There were a couple Turbo/SC Ford GTs but that's it.
