Very impressive things can be done both ways.
Anyone ever tried a dual stage 200-250 shot on a stock engine and see how it does? Probably the same, but even cheaper.
Close but not quite. That is Tim Stockwells's white coupe. That car is stripped down, no ac, no ps, full drag suspension running 17 lbs of boost and ran a 10.91 @ 123 mph only after adding a Snow Methanol injection kit. Without the alcohol injection it was running 11.64 @ 116 mph.
Now lets compare 2 completely stock cars one with a turbo and one with a blower. Mine and Jeff's, both 16 psi, mine 124 mph, his 116 mph just like Stockwells car before the meth injection.
You're right, it can be done both ways but it's so much easier with the turbo because it is so much more efficient. My kit added 350 flywheel hp to the stock motor at 16 lbs of boost and the same boost level Jeff's blower added 250 hp.
