I was wondering if i should go with a turbo or supercharger. I do mostly trail riding but love to register in drag races. Would the supercharger be alot harder on fuel than the turbo. Could i adjust the boost for example less boost to run pump fuel and higher boost to run race fuel on a turbo or supercharger. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

The turbo is going to get better fuel mileage and easier to adjust boost up or down. I have ridden and installed supercharger, rear mount turbo, and front mount kits. All work well, but if you want quiet and easily adjustable with good fuel mileage I would go with a front mount. We offer the only turbo kit made with a cast iron header for long life and never having to worry about a header problem!

Alright thanks alot. at 8 psi is that with pump fuel? And can u increase the psi to run with race fuel easily? At 13 psi how much hp is that and will i have to lower the compression?

I would seriously a look at the new Impulse Pump Gas Turbo w/ stand-a-lone fuel system - can run 15-17 lbs of boost depending on elevation. Unbelievable power and good fuel economy too! I am running a PL Turbo with a claimed 270hp and the Impulse set up feels like it has quite a bit more than mine...

8 lbs of boost is 205-210 hp depending on the engine temp, etc that is on pump fuel. Increase the boost to 13-14 lbs, dump in race fuel and you have 265-270 hp. Our system is setup and tested on the trail at sea level with stock sound level.
Our setup also allows you to run a STOCK motor, no changing pistons or installing a head shim. If you want higher boost I can set you up with a thicker head gasket and turn the boost up and have this ability for higher boost on pump gas.

I installed drag and flies on my sled and was wondering if this kit would be good enough for the boost?

We have installed a couple of Powderlites kits with our meth kits.That combination works really well on pump gas at sea level with a stock motor

Are my drag and flies any good for a turbo application?

The 60 gram base are not nearly heavy enuff. they require about 10 more grams then a 40/10 to achive the same rpm,s.
Run 20/50 2 speeds or find a set of 50/10 1 piece weights.
