What would make more power turbo or supercharger? Never seen a muscle car in person with a turbo.
Turbo vs Supercharger?
- Thread starter tuggy24g
- Start date
My daily driver 04 SRT-4 runs mid 13's @ 103. Stock turbo with only a few bolt ons. 148 cubic inches, so my vote is for the turbo!

All things being equal a supercharged motor has a higher fuel consumption at the same hp as turbo. Which is better depends what you are doing. We have switched many sc guys to turbos and they will never go back to sc.

OK now I have seen one. What I meant was I never saw a muscle car that did not come stock from the factory with a turbo on it in person.
Per pound of boost the Turbo will easily make more power. A buddy of mine has a 04 Cobra with somebodys turbo kit on it. With the stock blower pulleyed to make 14lbs the car made a little over 540hp. Pulled the blower and added the turbo kit and made 700hp at the same 14lbs.
This was also with a very safe tune on the turbo setup.
