If you could go for forced induction...

BTW Ray, what suspension mods do you suggest for drag racing?

Tailgaters beware
Zero camber. Zero toe-in. No play in the rear links. Make sure your ride height doesn't mess with the suspension geometry/angles. Stiffer swaybar on the rear, maybe remove the front depending on how serious of a racer you are. Soften the front dampers as much as you can.
When I run mine I don't want to go to much outside the daily drive setup. I don't want to remove the front sway bar or anything that drastic but I will adjust my shocks to soft in the front, and stiff in the rear.
Ray, are you saying that if I change out the sway bars it will help with the wheel hop? The question may sound newb but all my drag racing experience is with a 65 nova, 69 chevelle, 1990 5.0, and a 96 Honda CBR, with those there is no such thing as wheel hop
and as far as suspension, 90/10's was the only thing I did.

I don't think the answer can be as generalised as that. The peak power etc has to do with so many factors than just "supercharger" versus "turbo-supercharger".
As for the coils - just think about this... How the hell does the coil pack / spark plug know what mechanical method was used to increase the pressure of the mixture, weather it be by forced induction (t/c s/c) or increased compression ratio? All the spark plug sees is a mixture waiting to be ignited. Yes - at higher boost levels there may be additional requirements, but how it got there is irrelevant.

That's about the engine's peak volumetric efficiency. I asked the same question in the dyno thread. SC's more closely mimic the stock power curve, but they all drop off after that point, even stock. SC's just drop off less.
