Well, Rich I think that you gort my point. I compared Corvette money to Camaro money. Same engine/ similar performance. Different cost. And you know where the differences lie. As far as cost between STS and most blowers, I feel that the cost difference is not very large. I always like the Procharger way over a mag unit. It is very hard to describe the feeling that the turbo gives over the supercharger. It is much more linear and the boost comes on stronger. The turbo by nature, is actually required to dump exhaust pressure in order not to boost too much. Until that level is reached the turbo will work really hard. An 8lb system will run just like a 15lb system at lower rpms all parts being equal. When the 8lb point is reached, the wastegate will open venting exhaust pressure no longer allowing more than 8 lbs of boost. On a supercharger this is all done with pulley size. Different pulleys will act differently at all rpms. If at some point you become bored with your current boost level, you must change the pulley and belt on S/C but with turbo, you can use a boost controller from the driver's seat. change back and forth at any time. Of course, you could become your own worst enemy wanting more boost than your engine can handle. Yes, in a beauty contest the Mag or Kenne bell will always win, but form should follow function. There are also savings in the turbo that most people forget about. For the STS, you do not require headers! In fact, you will lose heat through the headers. You want heat in the exhaust to make the turbos spool quicker. Smoother flow does not matter much in the exhaust when you are trying to cram it all through those turbo exhaust housings.
