hmm...what do I want for lunch today? Pizza or a Hamburger...what do you guys think?

Quit bringing your dumb problems to us, do your own research, there is PLENTY around to make the decision for yourself. What if you only had 10 completely stupid people join this thread and give you bad data? Then your relying on 10 dumb people to make a decision for you. I always enjoy the comfort of knowing if I did the reseach and made the decision myself that I wouldn't have anyone else to blame.

do some research on the Forced iduction forum. You need to decide exactly what you are after. Once you decide that will determine which of those two is your best choice. THey both have their strengths and weaknesses. And they are not the same.

basicly i put it like this, if the car is a manual tranny then turbo. but if its an auto go with a supercharger and maybe a little 35 shot of nitrous if you want a little more power.

So whats better, a Ferrari Enzo or a Dodge 4X4 Turbo-diesel? Point is we need to know how its going to be used.

He didn't give enough info to specificaly recomend either. Nobodies being an *** with the guy.

I've had both.

Given that both are the same price. For the utmost power, turbo. For a more "mild" increase I'd say JRSC. You can have more hp with less $$ with the turbo. On an EF I would say supercharger, only because of the available space.

It's your call do the research first. Turbo will make more power, SC more "convenient"

I'd most likely go JRSC, b/c if i went turbo I'd want something small and quick spooling. Supercharger set-ups weigh less

Wow, sarcasm pwns you.

I say turbo. Why? More options, easier to change the psi setting, more people are running them, garrett turbos are indestructable while jrsc aren't so good (vortec is good though). Its all personal preference. Check out the FI forums you will get a TON of info on what you will need... just search.
