I was always told a Turbo is free HP since its fed by exhaust, but builds a lot of heat, and the chargers eithe roots or snail are crankshaft driven and in turn require hp loss to spin, but dont build nearly the heat. The charger systems have come along ways with built in intercoolers, and such, but the turbo also has had some serious upgrades like ball bearings, variable veigns, and such.

Id still LOVE to boost the Demon, but the 10.8 compression will require a lot of reworking the engine.

A few of the things that made me go with a Procharger ( centrifugal blower ) verses a turbo are: stand alone lube system, less heat issues ( inner cooler ), exhaust plumbing, Staging issues ( reads consistancy, spool up, exhaust heat ), Lube line plumbing, oil temp issues ( I'm already running a filled block ). Generally, the centrifugal blower system appeared to be a lower maintenance system. The "kit" I bought was very close to a true "bolt on " system. I had already prepped for it though by loosing the P/S and P/B systems from my car. I also have a car with a "ballroom sized" engine compartment.
