Default Which super is best and why

I am debating the JRSC and the Vortech. I know I get a lot more hp out of the Vortech but it would cost an extra $1300 w/aftercooler but i dont like the idea of the water-air deal beacuse you have to continue to add water to the after cooler and how long does that last? Also in the winter that might become a problem so i guess you just dont put water in it in the winter. The JRSC give less gains but gives at 2k+ rpms which the Vortech has a lag. I dont know which I want to go with... as of now im dreaming but.... a couple months down the road i wanna get something and im just tryn to learn why which is better... i dont wanna do turbo because i would like to go on track and not worry about it and N/A is a lot of money for not so much gain even though its better for track... but super will give me go on the road and be pretty safe on track so thats why i am choosing super over n/a and turbo. So opinions and reasons behind them would be nice. Thanks

Try the boost forum too if you don't get good responses here

how is a super safer on the track than a turbo...boost is boost...both will cook you if you don't do it right.

personally i'd prefer a SC on a track verses a turbo. i'm referring to tracks like auto-x or scca. i'd rather have boost at all times from start to stop verses having a turbo and having to build up boost before i see any results. just my two cents.

then again, having a turbo along with an intercooler and the perfect blow-off valve would give some bad *** looks and initimidating sounds. it'd be a sweeter sound than the whine of a SC.

turbos are available in differant sizes, and trims...this will combat lag.

i edited my post

i dont have either one yet, but the turbo just sounds cooler. but for short distance repetitive speeding up and slowing down, i'd probably just use a SC.

Yeah the boost forum might be a little better... i didnt think about it. I have talked about turbo and i just dont want to have to deal with boost coming in the middle of a turn i have also heard that the turbo will basiclly fry your motor if you run it on track this is just what i have heard.
