      That's not entirely correct. Centrifugal superchargers don't give you instant power...the boost builds with RPM. Depending on the setup/tune, a turbo can give you plenty of instant power. 20:50

    Very cool setups on both cars.
    Do you offer a warranty on the car or just the engine, since doing either supercharger or turbo will void factory warranty on engine and drivetrain?
    Are you using HP Tuners to unlock ECU for engine tuning?
    Why so much white smoak from exhaust while on dyno?
    Is that oil blow-by?
    Supercharged car had more white smoak than turbo, why?
    Have you broken the code to unlock the ECM to tune transmission as well? To add pressure to clutch engagement and adjust shift times?

    I live at 7,000' Elevation. 9,000'+ Air Density Altitude Days are not uncommon in the Summer. This means about a 25%-30% power loss just due to the elevation and environmental conditions. Either Turbos or a Roots Supercharger at these boost levels are basically just going to get me back to OEM HP. For the way I intend to drive the Magnuson is the way to go. I don't want to get nuts, I'm good with a GT/Power Cruiser that I handles very well. I'm not looking to live on the redline or Race/Track it... well maybe once or twice, but not regularly.

    Twin turbo its less load on the engine or a procharger is IMO better

    if I go supercharged route, should I have the Z51 package or does it matter?

      The HD cooling of the z51 definitely is worth it! It's not necessary but helpful

    Supercharged cars for the street can’t be beat due to the absence of turbo lag. Two types of superchargers are the positive displacement ones and the centrifugal ones. Positive ones hit super hard down low and r tough to beat. Centrifugal blowers spool up like a turbo but driven off the crank and have a wild midrange and highend rush. I have a Procharger a94 head unit and a meth flex fuel setup that makes 1251.9rwhp. It’s insane where it matters…medium and high speed driving. If your just driving around on surface streets and a little highway use then the positive displacement rocks

      sometimes new turbos cause smoke for a couple reasons that usually clear up in 100 miles or so. Machining oil, higher vacuum and temp picking up debris and any oil that was already in the exhaust and the higher temps burning it off and a weeping oil seal goes away after a heat cycle because it is a metal on metal seal that needs to swell and seat correctly (although that one is kinda rare).
