[QUOTE="UnleashedBeast, post: 14728217, member: 112023"] My experience with both kits, a supercharger runs out of steam on the top end. Turbos don't if properly sized for the application. Superchargers are easier to install, in most cases, especially a PD blower. Turbos are much more involved. You can also increase power on a turbo kit easier than a supercharger. There is no pulley to swap, you either increase spring weight in the wastegate(s), or use a boost controller if it's previously installed. I can also expand my power range from stock engine 600-700 hp to built engine 1100 hp range with nothing more than forging the internals and using either of the aforementioned methods to increase boost. With a supercharger, you are having to sell what you bought and go larger. For instance, you are selling that nice generation 2 VMP 2.3L TVS and buying a Kenne Bell monster. Me spending the money the first time insures I don't have to do that. The Armageddon kit and tuning is optimizing for the Boss intake, since it was designed for the Boss 302 originally. To run this kit on the GT, you have to change to the Boss intake. There is no charge piping for the Armageddon kit that will work with the stock GT intake manifold. No plans to release one either. The Cobra Jet manifold is too expensive to justify, as I doubt power gains would justify cost. I bet there would be none honestly. The smaller stock single blade TB and Boss manifold has supported 1400 rwhp on the 5.0 engine. More power is free, just increase boost. One could debate the CJ manifold with larger TB could create the same power, using less boost, due to less restriction.
