Default Turbo or Supercharger

Ok so I'm gonna have a ton of money when I get back from overseas. I kinda want to keep my raider till the wheels fall off but I am still undecided. Now when it comes to the 4.7 which is better the Turbo or Supercharger? Does anyone sell kits for them?

I have worked/owned many turbo cars so most of my experience is with them. I do know that a supercharger runs off the engine itself which "robs" the engine of power but it doenst have the dreaded turbo lag. Which by the way, any idea at what rpm the turbo kits would be at full boost? and what would be fully boost for both?

Do you have to tune a Supercharger with an SAFC2 or is it just attach and haul @$$?

Finally and totally off subject: Is there a way to remove the torque managment, or whatever it is called that doesn't allow us to break traction in the first 2 gears??? It gets on my damn nerves.

why spend 5000.00 for the kit. get a nice cam set up and pcm flash like i did and pocket the rest of the money for other stuff. then get the gears you need so that one tire doesnt keep spinning.

My tires wont spin i have the autp with the lsd....do the cams make that much of a difference? Does that lower the towing capacity if you change the cams?

If you're only looking to "break traction" or do burnouts. Replace the keg intake and get the pcm reflashed. If you want some serious power, replace the heads,cam,injectors,intake,re-flash the pcm and then throw a ati procharger on it! It's possible to lose sometowing power if you get too big of a cam. It just depends on what you are using the vehicle for. If you just want to put on a turbo or supercharger,I'd personally replace the stock intake,fuel injectors,and get the pcm re-flashed for it.
