Ooh, stock versus Cobb Stage 1, and you kept up. Granted, I don't want to street race you now, because of all your new goodies

Unless, of course, you can find a suitable school zone. It's only fun if a childs life is at stake.

I can't. I have been self-guilted into not posting it because it is so lewd and horrific. I might honestly feel bad about posting them. I emailed one to Ed and he came off his hinges. I almost deleted it off my harddrive out of sheer pity.

Actually, I am just holding on to it incase he is mean to me. :rotfl:

Just look at the M&M pics and use your imagination...

Alright, yeah you could say its a belt driven turbocharger. Its all forced induction, bascially a way of getting more air into the cylinder then normally possible. A turbo spools the compressor using exhaust gasses, so you have to be moving to get it working. A supercharger spools the compressor on belts using the magic of different sized cogs, and it only works well at low speeds and can sap your power at high speeds (not really true these days, but you still dont' gain anything up high).

But, rule of thumb.. turbo = higher peak numbers, supercharger = higher numbers lower in the power curve.

Having both is a little redundant, but you can make extra power if you have both to an extent. You can only force so much extra air into a cylinder, so one or the other will have to shut down completely or partially as the other one takes over.

If you have both on, the supercharger would be felt only from 0-2000 RPMs (or wherever your turbo kicks in). Kind of a waste of money on an already turbocharged car IMO.
