Anyone notice the last line on that page?

"Superchargers are easier to install but tend to be more expensive. "

LMAO!

To me, that is like asking, what is the difference between a camaro and a mustang?

They're two different animals. They both build boost, sure, but it's the manner they do it, and the different power bands it effects.

It all comes down to preference really. Where do you want your power band? Ease of install, fitment, sound, boost level (and versatility), there are a lot of things to consider when looking at the differences.

The best way to decide is do all the research you can on each, and look at what charactoristics mean the most to you, then make your decision based on that.

This topic typically gets pretty heated, so good luck.
