There is a significant difference, but in the long run, I think a turbo set up is better than a supercharged one. Personal preference.
I figured as much. The turbo is an armload more money up front but will provide the biggest increase on top end. Provided you have a place to use the increased top end then it's the way to go. For streetcars, the supercharger setup will have instant get up and go everywhere. Some superchargers can perform almost as well as a turbo on the top end (Paxton Novi) however I'm not sure if they make one for the Z. The ideal setup of course, depends on your driving tastes and the car's redline. The engine may be more suited for a turbo although many people souping up Z's from what I have been reading have favored the procharger set-up. I have no idea why.
