Ok here it is...........What is a better set up a turbo car to its fullest potential, a superchaged car to its full potential, or a N/A car to its full potential??? Which one do u think is the strongest?

That's not very controversial.
But if you are talking about 2 engines making the same power, then I would have to say Naturally aspirated is the way to go.
In general, engine temperatures are lower, and the lower pressures are easier on seals and gaskets.

but since your question said "to it's fullest potential" there is really no comparison. becasue even the highest tuned NA car cannot compete with a turbo engine.

Le Mans is one of the few races where turbocharged engines and NA engines compete with the same power, funny though that the turbocharged cars have fewer engine failures... as well as the majority of the victories since the first turbocharged car won about 20-30 years ago.

It does make sense, NA engines have to work a lot harder to make the same amount of power.
