Installing a supercharger is going to boost you up over 100hp... Adding the pulley to your drive system isn't going to "rob" horsepower. That's like saying "if I add a nitrous system to my car, am I going to lose overall power because of the weight of the bottle?"
no no no.....
firstly, remember that you never get "something for nothing", both turbos and superchargers are parasitic, and rob some of the engines power in order to make more power. the engines crankshaft is forced to spin a supercharger, and a turbo is a restriction on your exhaust system. depending on where and how you drive, if your car is a daily driver, definitely go with the supercharger, as the turbo doesnt typically provide full boost until almost 4k rpms, and its not a good idea to run such high revs often on a pushrod engine, also the turbo will have very low power down low, so it wont be any fun driving around town. the supercharger will give you excellent low-midrange power and decent top end, so thats your best bet. plus, a good turbo is expensive and more complicated to install. on the other hand, if you want your 6 to be a trailer queen, go with the turbo, cuz they make more power than superchargers do.
See, when that certain rpm hits the turbo kicks in...I love that pull to the back of the seat feeling!
What would win in a 1/4mi. between two evenly modified cars, the supercharged or the turbo?
Turbos, in general, make more HP beause they are more efficient. So, if tuned properly the turbo car, but saying modded equally is impossible. Too many things have to be different between the two systems.

Really, my truck can pull full boost below 2K Rpms and the turbo I had on my trans Am could produce full boost below 2500.

I tink it's best if I went supercharged, she is and will be my daily driver. So you know...
Everyone wants a race car, but as for me...I'd like to cruise around town with a built car just for my perks. So supercharged is the way to go...
The thing is... I just don't know who to go to for supercharged applications. I've looked into, Vortech, Prochager, and Paxton...are there any more choices for the V6? And the thing about going supercharged is that there are a variety of blowers out there. Because these companies will offer many types for many applications so...
What's the proper blower to go with in my upcoming setup?
4.2L Stroker Kit (Tom Morana - Forged Internals)
P&P Intakes
P&P Heads
Performance Cam
Stall Torque Converter
JMod
LSD
4:10
Crank Pulley
*And I may go with an electric Water Pump.
Just a simple setup for my V6. I don't know the specs, but I want to be able to tune her to push at least 315rwhp to the wheels...

you guys really think typical aftermarket turbos peak before 2-1/2 rpm?
It is not the type of turbo, it is the size of the turbo. Smaller turbos will spool quicker and larger turbos will take longer. Where do you think turbo lag comes from?
There are many factors when you spec a turbo for a custom application.

the point i was trying to make was that if you have a turbo peaking boost before 2K rpm, its probably too small for the engine
