A few questions...for the money, which is better? Then, which is better period, i.e. head to head which one will show you the greatest increase of power/speed? I will be buying one for my '94 Mustang and am trying to figure out which will the the best investment

Both setups have good points and downpoints. Both generally require a lower combustion chamber pressure, and require additional fuel to meet the volume of air being forced into the engine. The turbocharger has an advantage over supercharging, however, in that the turbo does not rob power from the crankshaft to turn it; it uses spent exhaust gases to build boost. However, a supercharger gives you power from idle on up, while a turbo only gives power when there are enough exhaust gases passing through it to spool it up. So depending on your application, which is superior

The world's fastest land vehicle is the car/plane thing that the brits broke the sound barrier in at Bonneville Salt Flats.
If ya wanna go fast, but save money, do the basics...clean out the engine, use good oil, air up your tires, have the alignment and shocks/springs checked, AND the speedometer while you're at it, so you're not surprised when you get caught on camera radar...the professional 1/4 milers do fun things with different fuels, and high-compression engines, read about the NHRA if you really wanna go fast, it'll get you addicted in 7 seconds FLAT lol 2 words: JET CAR!

Supercharging will give you more power but its far more costly, a supercharged engine will require modifications in increased fuel supply and the engine would have to be built stronger just to stay together.

Turbo charger are ok for increasing power and they are cheaper but superchargers produce much more power and torque...the supercharger rames air and fuel mixture into the engine...which is much better.

Hmmm..........personally i like turbochargers. Not old enough to drive. Closest I get is Gran Turismo. If that is anything close to reality, turbo is the way to go.
