but dont you have more power with a supercharger than a turbo. turbos have to spoil up superchargers dont

That arguement has more twists and turns than Ford vs. Chev....IMO, get what appeals to you.
 
Not in my closed mind it doesn't :D

Sofa king true.. smilieIagree smiliewhathesaid

I like turbos, I think that they are more efficient; BUT they also can be a lot harder to tune right (compressor/ turbine housings) etc..

But as a general rule a turbo from a GM 6.5 diesel is about the right size for a Ford 300 I6.. YRMV

Or. you could be uber bling tastic, and run both! Let the sc build your low end grunt and get the exhaust moving fast enough to push through the turbo lag, have an electric clutch disengage at x rpms (x being about the same time as the turbo will build equal boost as the sc so you dont lose power half way through a rev cycle. ) and let the turbo take over the top end. :)

I believe their called prochargers :)

procharger is just a belt driven turbo..

What Don was talking about is something more like this...

I considered turboing my 300, but decided that I prefer durability, longevity, and simplicity.
