Turbo. That's the only real way you can make huge amounts of power and torque from a B16A. Sure, the supercharger will yield more power down low, but a turbo B16A would have more power up top, where the B16 shines.

and then u would take the bus to work/school everyday because your rx7 would be broken 4 months out of the year. Besides stock RX7's aren't that fast

yes i beat a lightly modded 3rd gen from a roll. Also I raced a fully built greddy kit SI last night and it beat me pretty good. It was pistons/rods/sleeved/blockguard on 13 psi and dynoed 276 whp though. I pulled him about a car in 1st and 2nd from a 20 punch and 3rd/4th he came back and walked me hard. It's my first loss to a greddy turbo SI but the ones i raced before were all stock boost or near it.

if a supercharger was pushing about 5 psi on a motor and a turbo was doing the same... the only real difference would be the temperature of the air...
it would be nice to get measurements of the air from each of these FI types
