Blowers - I can see the appeal, its less stress on the engine than turbos/nitrous and delivers good gains.
I do not agree with that statement. Blowers are always more stressful to an engine/drivetrain at launch than a turbo.
I believe you're right, Jeremiah.
The turbocharger has to spool up / build boost from exhaust pressure, where the supercharger is tied directly to the crank speed, graduating it's effects directly proportionate to the engine RPMs.
My concern with a supercharger is their tendency to cause the cylinders to "oval out" over time/use.
I need to look more into this before bolting one up to my Challenger.
