Guess the BHP - Non 306 Content *Results Are In*

who cares what power its makes or doesnt! power figures are mean-less doesnt make it any better or worse. The only use for figures are to brag down the local pub. The amount of people lately that determine a engines heath or quality by its power figures is unreal. They are so easily manipulated via rollers or the operator. All this power is completely useless unless you can put it to the road.

I agree.

This is the whole reason i went the supercharger route rather than turbo. I wanted the drivability.

Whilst I agree with your sentiments, I'd prefer the free'r revving nature of a turbocharged petrol and use a DECENT turbocharger, rather than having 50hp being driven from the crank all the time contributing to engine braking all the time. Superchargers do not necessarily mean better driveability, merely eliminating any spool up time - drive a turbocharged petrol with a well specified, modern turbocharger, it saddens me when people only have ever had experience of heavily turbocharged petrol motors with old school turbocharging technology, a'la C20LET, Cosworth YB, EJ20s - these are all 20-30 year old designs. Turbocharger technology has come along SO much in the last few years, it's barely even comparable!

Totally agreed on the final power figures, it doesn't matter, what matters is how well it's mapped and where that power is and how it feels to drive... 

Id agree with that tbh. Supercharging is good but a good turbo set up is also equal if not better. Issue is for aftermarket tuning, turbo is substantially more expensive!!
