Default S/C or Turbo which forced induction?

as far as forced induction goes, im not sure what type to go with. turbo or supercharging. this is what i think so far, a s/c is reliable, but theres a limit to what output you have, and you cant mess around with it. as for turbo, its flexible, you can choocse your boost pressure, but at the same time you have to worry about fuel and air. not to mention later rebuilding your bottom end. a turbo has reliability as well, but wear and tear on motor is a factor too. any ideas? btw is speed crafts turbo kit anygood? and has anyone hear of the RevHard Kit is it availible yet?

use the search feature. some of your assumptions about S/C vs TC are not accurate. there is a lot of info on this board about this subject.

S2000 is meant to be n/a, but if you are gonna spend some big bucks you might as well go all the way and Turbo the S if $$$ is not an issue.

Turbo maybe more wear and tear on the car, but you don't have to drop the clutch @7k.

Most SC owners seem to be reluctant to drop the clutch because they don't wanna break anything.

in best motoring i think that guy dropped it like at redline, hahaha
good launch but it kinda seemed to bog out, on his 0-400 run it was a 14 flat, if you think of it a 1/4 mile is a bit longer by 8 feet, it might have done a 14.1, then again the motor was notbroken in yet.
