Good comparison.I love the 'Pro-SC' argument: If you get the best SC and compare it to the most inefficient turbo on the worst designed manifold with a peashooter exhaust the SC is better!!
Seriously, a GT3071R on a LoveFab manifold is at full boost almost instantaneously at 4K when you got WOT. And the boost below that is still extremely usable. And the only thing limiting the top end is the wastegate and boost controller. I can run 20psi with a 3mm headgasket if I choose to and make ballistic power.

to someone who can actually go out and read up though!!! Props to you sir 
Off the line however.... in a full on drag car, there's a reason top fuel doesn't run turbos. We must give the SC credit in some areas.
But im glad to hear that our Cars breathe so well!!! Makes me more upset that i live in California and its illegal to get a turbo that Makes over 350whp. I mean...i can still get a turbo but its not even WORTH the risk of one day a cop randomly pulls me over and decides to look under my hood

For launching with a turbo, all you need is anti-lag
Listening to a WRC launch is NASTY!!!

WOW thats a good comparison but thats with the fastest spooling turbo out there tho. Do a comparison with a turbo that starts making boost at ..lets say 5k rpm?? in That dyno the s/c will have the more meaty power band until the boost kicks in on the turbo. Lets see that one

don't know much about either one, but if you're running on the track wouldn't you want a SC because of the linear power buildup? Or would the extra torque be an extra plus from the turbo?

never knew the fastest spooling turbos hit full boost at 4500 rpm, must have missed the memo. Even a GT35R will best the SC in torque all over the graph.
