Mine is supercharged but i think i might go turbo next year. The power is so unusable on the street. Unless your constantly in the upper rpm's then it takes a while to have the power kick in, its like driving a big 2-stroke. One benefit is since the power is so linear the car rarely loses traction.
But seriously, up the boost and then use the close ratio gear box for what it was intended, to shift!

You need to ask yourself what you want from your car first. Everyone has an opinion, but whats important is which will best help you accomplish your goals.
When you decide to go turbo hit me up.

Wouldn't a rotrex SC sound very turboish (actually just like a turbo really) due to the fact that it spins at higher rpms than a "standard" centrifugal SC? I've never heard one in person, but I like the fact that they're not as noisy when just idling/etc.

What ever you do is money. Sad part is when the party is over(they all end sometime). You have to take it all apart again and put it back to stock and sell the parts. Even though everyone(?) wants a boosted car NO ONE wants to buy a boosted car. If you are paying someone to take the parts on and off it is lose lose lose all the way. I am going SC now and I know that all the money I spend is money that I am basically throwing away. Labor cost money even my own, if you know what I mean.
