    I would agree if it wasn't a V8. The roots style charger is designed for this motor...or vice versa. It'll give me my instant power without the lag, and put me right around where I wanna be with power...

    I'm open to thoughts and suggestions, though. Why turbo over super?

    But I'm not looking to exceed like 480whp...

    The drag I can deal with. My concern was if I would get better gas mileage with a turbo than the super, but I've not had luck finding information on that. Also, I think a turbo may be more cost efficient...but... *shrugs*
