I think better is a relative term.

As far as performance goes, I believe turbos are better.

But a supercharger has its own advantages as well as a way cooler sound. I went with the supercharger.

given the fact of the supercharger being a factory option and being available at a much cheaper price than the turbo makes a tough arguement...price being equal I prefer the turbo...but if you like the sound and instant low end power then the blower is the ticket. I personally think the turbo offers the best comprimise between fuel mileage, power and drivablity.

S/C for me. Although turbo's have much more potential... I couldn't live without that whine!

S/C. I like the whine, the instant power, and I DESPISE the sound of the blow off valve on turbos. Just my opinion, but it sounds...I dunno, weak, or something. Anytime I hear one, I want to go race the guy with it and kick his ***.

Again, just my opinion.

I prefer S/Cs. Instant torque is off the hook. Plus I'm a gear head so seeing that big chunk of metal sitting on top of an intake just screams power.

Im not gonna debate which is better cause they both have their place.

There are S/Cs out there that will net more power then a turbo but unfortunately they are too big to adapt to the 3.8L

Though I voted for supercharger, my project is leading me towards getting a turbocharger. Reason being, ChrisG recently sent me a video on youtube of the legendary Grand Prix Turbo and had me thinking. I want to turbo this car and do minor visual upgrades to keep its factory look. I want to build this car up as if Pontiac actually built a turbo GP in 2000. So there it is guys, thats what I am going for. I haven't come up with a name to replace GT, but I may try to find the old Grand Prix Turbo Badges and slap em on when the car receives the turbo...
