just a quick question.....does a supercharger have better pick-up from a roll than a turbo? and wouldn't it gain be more economical? as far as lost power due to turbo lag....?

I cant wait to see what it can do when I get a performance air filter, some alloy rims.

I'm sure those rims will be good for atleast 10 whp.

I did some hunting.
It was indeed a Cobalt. I knew it wasnt a larger car and it definatly didnt look like an Aveo.. LOL
Even though it had a twin exhaust, the engine didnt sound like it needed it.

Naw, we wernt racing, cause I didnt top 90. Just a game of Tag.
Still fun though.

Great example of the handling at that speed.

If your worried about turbo lag... your driving it wrong.

just a quote from carol shelby. lol

Anyway, i have no lag... well lets say i hit full boost at 2500rpms. if i'm cruising at say 3000-3500rpms and i mash the gas, i have instant boost. no waiting for the turbo. (TD04)

I actually think launching with a turbo would be more benificial than a SC. A SC will have the power right off the light. traction will be a problem. with lag, this won't be an issue.
