Now this is where things get tricky, how can you have a good strong power output and still retain driveability? with Turbo power, you get great top end and fairly strong mid range but the cost is lag and sometimes hotter temperatures, with Naturally Aspirated power you can have high compression pistons and crazy spec camshaft making high power at 7500 rpm but you can have a nightmare getting it to idle and drive off in first gear without spinning the wheels or wearing the clutch out sooner and with supercharging you can have some different results by being able to switch the solenoid on the clutch on the supercharger snout off so you can have smooth driveabilty but because you would need to lower the compression ratio for the extra boost and retard the ignition a little your power can suffer during the time when the supercharger is not working. I guess the only answer would be to go with what you like and don't look back. Unfortunateley for me I love HUGE revs from my motorcycle days, love the high pitched screaming turbos and love the sound of the supercharger gears and gilmer belt drives whirring and whistling so I am damned to live in a world of curiosity and forever dreaming of a way to have it all!
