Default Re: Turbo VS Supercharger

Off-road a supercharger due to immediately low end torque and HP. On-road (highway), turbo. Remember the turbo does not add until around 2K+ rpm, and you aren't climbing mountains at that high of an RPM unless you are riding a clutch.

A good example is the Duramax 6.6L which I have been playing with lately. At and above 2.2-2.5K rpms, this engine jumps until it redlines in the 3k+ range.
