I track my Stillen supercharger but it takes a lot of cooling to make it work. I would say a supercharger is the better option because the power is much more lineal plus you have even more heat to deal with on turbos.

Either can work well. Like JWillis said, keeping it cool is the key. That, and a good tune. You don't want your track tune to be on the ragged edge. Be conservative. Leave some power on the table in exchange for safety.

If I were to build a car for track days, it would be a supercharged car. Like Jwillis said, more linear so you get more constant control. However, Stillen is the only kit available right now and imo it's not worth the $$ to power gain. Yes there is the new BP upgrade kit in the world's but that's a lot of $$ when you add both kits together.

Turbo cars can also be very responsive when the correct turbo are used, and a good tune is in place.
It really comes down to a few things: Budget Over all power goals personal preference Personally I would do a turbo set up, correctly sized turbos with a good tune will produce power nearly as fast as a supercharger set up. -Daelen
