Default RE: SUPER CHARGER OR TURBOCHARGER??????

Why is that company in business?
Well,

Why is microsoft in business? HEck.. Windows NT was pretty much USELESS til SP3 came out.
Its all in the marketing! Marketing makes you more money than a badly run company with good software. (many RC companies come to mind)

One thing you guys forgot to include in the equation: COST!

Are you willing to pay $150 for osmething that adds .2 HP(Assuming it works and assuming it adds 20% more power)

If you live in high altitudes or if you have a very restrictive air element.. then you'd notice an improvement in performance.

But.. fact is.. Nitromethane is naturally lean burning. If we had a supercharged diesel.. HMMMM that should be interesting! (still assuming that the SC increases absolute manifold pressure)
