I was just wondering.

Turbo's are a great option too, but unless you're running a smaller turbo, down-low power tends to suffer, and turbos tend to peak more. I'm interested less in peak power, than I am with power across the whole band. In which case, SC's are a fantastic way to build instant power down low (which is something the 370 needs badly...). Its unfair to say really, but I feel going for twin turbo setups is, in many cases, ridiculous because its only for people who want to shoot for the moon and say they made *insert huge number here* WHP WOO HOO! Will it ever be utilized? Probably not.
Also, running a turbo will require changing out your exhaust manifold, and may make passing emissions testing a royal PITA, and seeing as Im in a state that requires that, its not worth it. Whereas, a supercharger is quite happy with stock exhaust manifolds and a nice cat back
Thats a couple reasons right there for ya.
