with an unrestricive intake manifold, and a "good" supercharger, i would expect results to be considerably better than blowing through crappy old gen 3 M90s like we were doing many many moons ago.
my vote: a properly sized turbo, and a tiny shot of the sauce to get you out of the hole  |
This is basically our experience, too. One of our DYAD clutches was used in a dual charged (supercharged twin turbo) coyote swapped 65 mustang and made 1000 wheel hp, which plenty of people are making with standard single or twin turbo setups. Its neat to see something original done like that, but not sure if its worth the money and extra complexity to the average owner.
