Turbo or Super Charger?

Which is better and why? I love the turbos but it seems it removes the natural muscle car sound

In a perfect world I would take turbo over supercharger.

The main reason would be for the degree of control you can have in controlling boost over having to swap a pulley for more/less power.

They each have their pros and cons though.

I would go supercharger over turbo for the fact that there is more modifications and problems that you can run into with the turbo and i prefer the whine sound over the sucking sound in muscle cars. But to each their own.

Supercharger vs Turbos

They both have their pros and cons.

Turbo = high end power

Supercharger = low end torque and power all the time

The Turbo takes away the v-8 rumble.

The Supercharger looks better.

V-8 get the supercharger !!

V-6 get 1 or 2 turbos !!

I was thinking about going the twin-turbo route when the warranty is up for my upcoming V-6. I would definitely SC the V-8 personally.

it just looking for daily driver go SC
looking for high HP.. and fast times go Turbo..
turbo doesnt take away from muscle car sound..
turbo is a whistle sound..
I think turbo is the best but for easy of use and install Im going supercharger this time.
