This is the same line of thinking that causes people to buy the largest possible turbocharger, which leads to shoddy power figures and tons of lag.

You can't compare supercharger power gains between a v8 and an I4, period. Torque is a huge factor here.

Secondly, you're comparing an intercooled SC to Vortech's base model... why not compare it to the aftercooled Vortech?
