-You don't have lag with a supercharger like you will a turbo.

-You can push more boost with a turbo than you can with a supercharger.

-SC will give you more low-end power as to a turbo which will give you top-end.

-If I remember correctly Jackson Racing quit making D-series SC, so replacement parts will be a bitch to find.

-SC doesn't make too much of a difference, I had a buddy who had a z6 supercharged and it was fast, but not fucking ridiculous like you can make a turbo z6.

-A supercharger costs quite a bit of money, but a turbo build will cost more.

-Depends on what you want the build for. If you do auto x then a supercharger is ideal so you have constant spool and power from the SC, if you are doing drag then a turbo will benefit you more because you are in the high rpm's constantly.

-OR you can go stupid with it and twin charge and have the best of both worlds. Hope this helps, that is what I could think of off the top of my head. :thumb:

Jackson Racing did stop making the SC for the d series. And you will have more fun with a turbo imo.

I would say turbo. If more superchargers were available, things would be different. Turbo is easier to put together and repair due to parts available.

Any more info on this car?

And yes if you're in Cali, don't waste your time unless you are buying a 50 state carb approved turbo kit.
