@Bbeavis13 күн бұрын
Thank you. The turbo made sense for the track car where I could build and tune it at a more serious level - and the parts availability lends more toward turbo. I had a supercharger for quite a while on the NA seen in this video, it was a great solution for a road car with more linear torque curve, lower cost and more mild power level.
