> You can’t say which is better until, like Howie said, you discuss options as far as the Turbos. You could run a weiner turbo that will spool by a grand and see low end power but nothing up top. Run a beast of a turbo and have nothing down low (or up top for that matter if your engine can’t make enough airflow to spool it :lol: ) and see some power up top. S/C’s are decent for instant power and more streetable, but in the long run a turbo is the better option in my honest opinion.

there are turbos designed for mid-range power as well…u wont have awesome peak numbers but it will have power in the mid range where most DD need and use it
