I already have a turbo, so somebody just needs to get a supercharger.

I was just reading an article about the new Cobra, speak of the devil. They did a comparison with a new Cobra vs a new Mach 1 with a vortech. The vortech'd Mach 1 out performed the 03 Cobra in virtually every respect, though that's understandible since the Mach is lighter and had higher compression.

They did do a test where the measured how much boost they had at what rpm. Don't remember the Mach1 but the Cobra had 7psi at 2250rpms and 9psi around 5000. That surprised me, I didn't expect it to have that much boost at that low a rpm. I only have around 4-5psi at 2250 and I don't get 7psi til 2500rpm, but I get 9psi by 2800rpms.

It is nice to have a discussion like this, even though we're so far off the main topic. The zetec sections are usually pretty slow. I'd like to post more, but I'm freezing right now and it's way past my bed time, got to wake up early tomorrow. I will post more later on the subject, including the scenario's when a supercharger would out "perform" a turbo.
