And what happens on a small 4cyl street car is quite different than a V8. So although your supercharger on your truck may be good for it, a s/c on a zetec isn't a great idea. And even on your truck you can get more power a turbo, but if you don't want power, than that's fine, I was under the impression that this guy wanted power. Yes you can set it up so a s/c zetec is faster than a lotta turbo zetecs, but at the expense that it most likely won't be streetable.



Who'de you school Fool?
I understand all that, but your post above wasn't 100% accurate. I'm not starting a battle Kremit, I've already won the war

But in all seriousness, I agree about the Torque, theres no doubt in my mind. You've got many more options with a turbo than a S/C also.

I never said it stopped spinning, just doesnt spin as fast as a S/C at idle, hence....LAG.

Second Period just let out.


No I won the war before the fighting even started.
Do some research, not all turbo systems have LAG, quit saying they do. Quit using the wrong term. I believe seawulf said it was boost threshold... but anyways, a supercharger doesn't reach full boost until a certain RPM either, same with turbo. And then once the s/c does reach full boost it has parasitic drag, another not so great thing for big power.......... but if you think weren't you're saying is true, then if you ever get the money, go with a s/c for your zetec. Remedial classes just let out (or just begun).
