2things needing clarification
"6) You need to run the engine at idle to cool down in a turbo car after some hard driving,
no need for this in an S/C car."
-if the supercharger is oilcooled, it is a wise idea to run the car for a minute to let the oil cool down, same as a turbo.
"2) Superchargers are parasitic drags on engines: True superchargers do require HP to
operate, BUT so does Turbos, from a different source."
-with a turbocharger, the loss is minimal, and about the same restriction for most size turbos. you also have gases flowing freely out of the exhaust through the wastegate.
-with a supercharger, the horsepower loss is linear, the more power you make, the more power you loose.
although for daily driven cars and owners that aren't hell bent on performance, i would point them twoards a supercharger, instead of a turbo kit. i'll should be seeing SWIFT-RACING TECHNOLOGIES kit soon, i am very interested in how the finished kit will look installed.
