If you don't know if its cheaper to supercharge or turbocharge a V8, you might want to do a lot more research then come back and ask this question.

i was asking because i don't know plus i heard turbo chragers are better than super chargers because the super charger runs its force induction from the crank shaft and turbo runs from the exhaust presure or something of that nature (that is according to sports car international the jan. 2001 issue

Turbo chargers are more efficient, and you can get more boost out of them, but they are not smog legal, if that is a concern where you live. Check out the power adders forum on here and ask them.

Either one is good, I think that turbos are used more on smaller engines because they dont take power from the engine to make more. Theres plenty of big turbo charged motors around, if your really looking for performance though, you might be better off building up a 350 and then going from there becauses theres alot more performance parts for 350s and you can make lots of power too.
