As a result, pound for pound of boost, a TT will generally make considerably more torque. I have the dyno graphs to prove it (actually, on the same car, my TT made the same horsepower and 50ft/lb more torque with 1 psi less boost when compared to a centrifugal supercharger).

But it's more fun to unleash them at 2200 rpm. I also run a stock bottom end and it runs like stock until i stomp on the gas. I have never rode in a supercharged vette but i love the fact that with a twin turbo it kicks in right away. I don't think i would like having to wait for a higher rpm before they are unleashed.

The roots-type type SC (magnacharger) however does not perform like the above with the exception of a little parasitic loss. Unofortunatey the Magna has power limitations.
However, the screw-type SC (Kenne-belle sells one) kicks in even earlier than the magna and has gobbs of power

Well, it depends on what you want. THe TT only really kicks in at the later speeds. SO, it takes a while to feel its effect. A supercharger will give you more off the line quickens. WHen you compare a TT to a supercharger for off the line quickness, the Supercharger wins. TT are NOT fast off the line

Its actually the opposite. My turbo "effect" as you call it kicks in at 2700 RPM and is full boost by 3000 perhaps even a tad under. Most comon SC's are centrifugals and full boost is not happening until the upper bands. So all things being equal concerning excellent grip, Centrifugal SC's will be slower off the line to a TT. This is really common knowledge
