i'd take the super charged 8 for track use over laggy turbo anyday. need that linear power on track man. about the brizilian hp gains comment, he said they have 25% alchol in their gas, and that my friend is the key. funny cars that hit 4 sec 1/4 miles run alchol fuel. i'm sure that helps his turbo a great deal.

for now i am going to leave the boost this way and focus on better traction (new rims and larger track tires) and cooling down the car so i can push hard for more than 2 laps.
i have also bought a new ACT flywheel and clunch.
i am going to discuss this a little bit more in the other thread on the performance section.

thats besides the point.. whether or not a supercharger or turbo is better for track use is not what i was addressing.. Nemesis.. stated that hed like to see a blown 8 vs a boosted 8... i replied saying that a blown 8 would be lame in the power department and a boosted 8 has tons more potential.

if it's a problem please be free to delete it.
here is another comparo, a highly tuned WRX (unichip+boost 14psi+invidia exhaust... up pipe; downpipe, catless mid pipe, etc... note that the subaru's sound is a lot higher that the catless turbo rx8.)
before someone asks the engine check lite flashes. it reads misfire when the cars runs WOT. but no other error now.
The Wrx hits gas first. I WASNT at 9psi on this video. I've seen this subaru smoking a light Tuned Evo VII.
And someone asked if my car can keep up against an tuned Z. If it's not a Turbo/nitro etc Z .... it's simply not a race.
Video here.
