Aerochargers are better than a twin screw!! hahaha ;-)

[Stephen Andersen]

If you don't actually drive your car in the "real world" that
may be correct.

If you want to be like me and irresponsibly waste the 
occasional Mustang, Camaro, Vette, etc either in 
a stoplight "drag" or at the strip, this is not the 
case.

My goal with my car is to have the widest flattest
torque curve possible.  I'm going for area 
under the curve, not a high peak at a certain location.

I want boost, however I don't want to lose the relatively
linear characteristics of the power delivery of my inline
6.

This is consistent with Jeff Meager's assesment of the 
700hp turbo car vs. the 400hp whipplecharged car.  I want
the "feel" of the latter, even though the former would
certainly kick my ass on the dyno, on the strip, and 
at top end on the street, but probably not at a 5-60 stoplight
race.

All of this assumes of course, that I have adequate (or at least
nearly adequate) available traction...
