Got bread? Then SC or Turbo.
Broke like me? Spray the dog piss out of it while it lasts!

A Supercharged Top Fuel Dragster will reach a speed of 330 MPH but can just make the quarter-mile. A Turbo-Charged Top Fuel has been tried, but due to the 'Turbo Lag' are not competitive. A Turbo-Charged Champ Car will exceed 230 MPH, but can go 500 miles. Several Supercharged Indy Cars were used in the 1950's and 1960's, but due to fuel restictions, the Turbo-Charged cars turned out to be more efficient. There have been engines, (mostly used on boats), where a Supercharger and Turbo-Charger combo used, giving you the 'best' of both. The quick acceleration of being Supercharged, then cutting 'off' for the more efficient usage of the higher speed of Turbo-Charging.

Depends on your engine and car. Personally the spray would not be an option. If you have a 6 or 8 cylinder with a greater amount of torque than hp than a super is deifinitely your choice. If you have a 4 cylinder then it is not strong enough to power a supercharger. You then have to decide if a single turbo (more speed) outweight the benefits of a dual turbo(higher acceleration). Any v8 should have a super. i-6's generally have the torgue necessary to turn a super without ill hp effects. A v-6 depends on how powerful it is.

Well using NOS will help the transmitin, and the Supercharger for the car just helps the oil and air get throu the enging faster and easer, and Turbo charged is just realy for stoks like the twin terbo Supra...

Turbo offers the largest boost volume but superchargers will last a lot longer as they aren't subject to the heat.

The only bolt on you listed is spray. The other two require a lot of work in order to operate properly.

Bang for the buck award goes to spray- avg. cost of $600 for a wet kit, 2 hr. install, INSTANT power at the touch of a button...can be a little hard on factory components, hey but it'll point out any weakness you have in your engine or transmission (high boost will as well)!
