People get far too caught up in whole "turbos make more horsepower" factor. Torque is loads more fun IMO. Peak power produced is only one side of things. I think of turbos as kid of the same as a big cam. You need to use lots of revs to get the power out of them. With my blower the instant boost quickly smooths out the big (blower friendly grind) cam I also run. I can waste turbo cars out of the hole at the drags. But at the other end they start to pull me in. most poeple shun blowers cos unless they shell out moonbeams for a kit, it's not bolt on and go. Given the screw blower my CA is getting can support 2.2 bar, but the time an equivelent turbo has spooled up I'll be a spec on the horizon.

Horses for courses really. I have an S/C14 on my datsun A15 in a 1200 sedan. the extra torque is really enjoyable, and very useable. Its like driving the car if it had a much bigger engine, but without the weight. For an appliaction like drag racing, or driving hard around tight winding hills it's great. When I need more go, I just squeeze the pedal that bit harder. It doesn't have the same top end push that a turbo does, but by the time it begins to lose that kick in the back, I'm already going fast enough to get in a heap of trouble if mr plod was to catch me. Someone once said, "horsepower sells cars, torque wins races". I do love the fat bottom end torque just itching to be released. I love it so much I'm going to fit a screw supercharger to the CA18det in my datsun 510 too.
