Default Supercharger vs Turbo

This has probably been asked so many times you guys are sick of hearing it, but I am new here and I need some opinions. I am going for off-the-line HP and Torque .. not so much top speed. Looking at my setup (in my signature), which would deliver what I want, super or turbo?? Thanks ...

Try doing a search this topic has been covered over and over. I think most people will say turbo , but it is personal preferance.

supercharger = low end torque decent power less tuneability; turbo = low end lag (less with smaller turbos) greater tuneabliity greater hight end hp. therfor, you would be in the market for a SUPERCHARGER.

turbo without a doubt
why spend money on a supercharger when a turbo is less and can produce more power!!
