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.

Yea, turbos are more efficient hands down, but availability and cost is also higher with a turbo.
I'll go with n/a and spray until I decide on my upcoming setup.
