I don't understand this entire supercahrger thing...

there is a BELT attached to your CRANK.

Power Steering takes away like 3-5 WHP and the supercharger belt is like WAY WAY more strain on the crank than that.

Why would anyone want to lose HP from parasitic drag on the crank?

Just get a turbo. And also, turbo has better intercooling characteristics.

Cooler air in your motor. According to my datalogs..

Way color..

in a word... TURBO!!
with a turbo you dont have to be in boost all the time, can drastically save engine life...

Any This vs. That discussion is useless.

Might as well add:
Blonde vs. brunette
My favorite color versus your (wrong) color

I agree that this vs that can be quite useless, but In this case it is an oportunity to discuss the pros and cons of each system, It would deffinitely better suited in the forced induction fourum... but not entirely useless...

bad analogy...

Depending on if they're attractive, I'd sleep with either a Blonde or a Brunette, there hair color doesn't matter, they're both the same thing, and will do the same thing for me.

A Supercharger on the other hand(on a honda), will rob me of torque, in some instances push the powerband even further up, make my car run unsafely hot, steal $3000 from my pocket for a hardly usable 45 horsepower, and make me look like an idiot while the turbocharged honda's push out real power and put out good times.

It's not a matter of preference, it's a matter of Intelligence, Logic & Common Sense.
