There is something about opening the trunk at the races and opening the bottle. The reaction and attention you get from people is worth the set up alone. Turbo makes the most sense and power but tends to kill the 5.0 rumble. Superchargers are okay I guess. I would still love to have a 500hp all motor drinking gas under my hood.

There is something about pulling up beside a guy revving the motor and hearing the blow off valve give that big "psshheew" sound. Nitrous is cool, but how about opening the hood to see a sheet metal intake and a big *** turbo sitting beside the motor.
But were all different, and have different tastes

:i am running a 1G DSM BOV on my supercharger setup. Not for sound, but to protect the impeller when i close the throttle at high boost/rpm levels.

Roots are awesome!
all have their pros and cons though.
