For the money it takes to get the sytem up and running, a turbo will give much more reweard. Like was said..They are a huge drag on an engine. Go grab even a P1SC and turn it by hand. That 2300hp blower I'd bet tkaeas at least 400hp to drive it at max boost. A smaller turboe, priced I'd bet fairly close to that  blower's price, will make the same 2300, but not draw any. You could match the boost curve of that blower with a turbo, and make close to 3K hp. Ask how much 3-400hp at that level will cost to get...But it means you need custom manifolding. But when the engien is $50K, what's another thousand?

I am not trying to change your mind, but for $4000, you could easily rebuild your motor to make 400hp without the supercharger.  I am talking aluminum heads and all.  Just my  :2cents:

No worries  :thumbsup: , I don't have a mind to change since I can't get either a Procharger, Turbocharger, battery charger  :roflsmiley: , or new engine.  :walkaway:  I git what you're saying though.

Got to watch the $$$.
