I was just curious to see who here went s/c instead of turbo or N/A and what kits are you using w/ what mods? I'm not looking for extreme gains, and I'm not looking into turbo so I thought s/c my Tiburon would be the way to go.;D

the only S/C available is somewhere around the $~3K range, and it won't even get you over 200WHP.
a turbo set up is also in the $3k range, you can keep it low boosted on stock internals and get higher numbers than both S/C and N/A. T/C is the same price, better numbers and WAY more expandability if you turn into an addict.. your call.

No room for a large supercharger, and a tight fit for any type of air to air or air to water intercooler means power is limited. You could run a turbo to the same amount of power for half the price, and have all the plusses of a supercharger (power off the line, etc.)

imo, this ought to just be locked. this topic has been discussed over and over, if you search around, even dynos of the most ELABORATE s/c setup on a tib can be found (Xorro's 199WHP water cooled s/c UK tib).
supercharger is not cost-effective and is beat out by a turbo in every aspect, including cost.
