if were talking about a procharger(ie centrifugal blower) then you are correct.blowers like that are setup so they make maximum boost at maximum rpm.thats why i like turbos.a properly sized turbo will have minimal lag or a low boost threshold and achieve maximum boost quickly.

I personally like turbo lag color me odd. I like listening to it spin up waiting for that insane power to hit. I prefer that over the little notch of power I get with my car. I need a turbo from a semi is what I need.

that turbo ebook that im on the cover of sold by junkyardturbos.com goes over practically every turbo out there including the Holsets,which are the ones people take off diesels to use.

that is one of the turbos that I have it came out of a cummings engine or I can go small with a turbo from a porshe that I also have

as has been covered here, it really depends on where you want your power, and how involved an installation you are willing to put up with.

Pro-charger - as stated, is a no brainer to install, is pretty reliable, and makes its boost at high rpms, meaning its great for the strip, but perhaps not the best for the street.

Nitrous - makes awesome power at the push of a button, can be turned on and off, but needs to be refilled, and if it isnt done right, will scatter lots of peices of the engine.

turbo - the most complicated install by far, but when properly built will spool up quickly and reach boost levels at useable rpms for daily driving. also the method of operation is arguably the most efficient. more so than even the pro-charger setup.

hell, why not do all three and say darn the torpedo's full speed ahead

When you do a supercharger/ turbo set up, would you put the supercharger upstream from the turbo to get it spooled faster? I have seen a few cars running this setup.
