I think you should revisit my first post. I'm not putting turbos down. I was just asking for an apples to apples comparison of superchargers vs turbo chargers. Also note in the FIRST post that I already have a blower set up and I'm just keeping my options open. Since I already have a blower set up I said there would have to be COMPELLING evidence that a turbo is way better "for my application" to sell what I have and start over with a turbo.
Soooo, unless someone has OVERWHELMING evidence I'll keep building what I have. From the reaserch I've done, peolpe I've talked to 1, 000 H.P. should be doable with a blower.

Just for the record here. This is JUST a fun hobby for me. I asked the question to get an objective comparison. I'm not putting down turbos, nor do I think it's nessesary to be put down for my buying a blower. I'm just looking for an intelligent open minded discussion on the subject. NO my dog is bigger than your dog stuff. That takes the fun out of the hobby. If the fun is gone I"ll just sell it cuz. at that point it would no longer worth it to me.
