Between supercharging and turbo for drag racing I'd go turbo and for spirited driving or track use id go supercharger. Turbo your going to have a limited rpm range but a lot of power, so say 4k for spooling up and then a smaller turbo like that will start running out of breath towards the rev limit, but you can keep it in that sweet spot in a drag race. For me i like the twisties so i would go supercharger, instant power and a flat torque curve. With that kind of powerband you can use the torque to pull you through a corner then rev it out to the next corner, basically limits the amount of shifting you have to do, which is what i like.

Or you could do both... Research twin charging. You would probably be the only 9th gen with that kind of setup, but if tuned right you get the best of both worlds since you will be using both the supercharger and the turbocharger to cover different parts of the powerband.

I'll be running 10 pounds. Should be close to 400whp with this setup.

Picked up my stage 2 prl kit today. He actually threw in 1000cc ID injectors and DW65c fuel pump for free and brand new zdx throttle body. I think this was deal of the year for me.
