for the first time Dino you have me very confused...
im comapring turbo to SC who said anything about NA? i never said SC cant be intercooled...
i never said a turbo is "free hp". regardless of lag a properly sized turbo will make more low end tq and top end power than a roots, ive tested them on many customer cars and seen other people get the same results as well.
who are you talking about? all of wildemers motors i saw that i am referring to were supercharged with his aftercooler kit, whats all this NA talk? if he was making all that power NA then hell yes thats impressive, but all the numbers im refrencing were on boosted cars...
The whole time I thought you were badmouthing Wildmers NA builds, because when you mentioned the HP and TQ #'s it was so similar to what his 2.0 NA b-series motors make. I seriously thought you were comparing your turbo motor to his NA motors, my mistake.
I know that you realize superchargers can be intercooled/aftercooled, but I've seen some good results with these and it seems you really, really hate superchargers altogether. Some people like the fact that a supercharger makes it seem like you have a bigger NA motor.
You did say that turbo's are free HP, which I disagree with.
"this is hotly debated issue, turbo is free horsepower as it uses exhuast energy to make power, supercharger uses the crank to make power so it actually takes power to make power, usually takes about 15-30hp to spin a supercharger."
