Cheapest/Best(?) to get 500 RWHP?

[dweedlebug]

So, I'm all over the discussions about twin turbo yielding 500rwhp + 2.5 or 3" exhaust with appropriate add on's (a' la' Fusz) and/OR ???rwhp a' la' supercharger with add on's.

My understanding is that turbo loses a bit o' torque in low RPM's and supercharger yields consistent torque/HP accross the band.

I want no more than 500-530 RWHP (lol, like that is not nuts anyway), do not want to build the motor, and want *some* semblence of safety to not grenade the motor.

I basically want a daily driver that rips it when I stomp it, but acts *normal* otherwise.

My analysis says turbo yields *stock* low end, then craziness when called on .... Basically, stock pull until the turbos spool.

Supercharger yields more low RPM fun (gas consumption) + boost fun all over the RPM range. i.e. nuts alll the time with boost on demand ....

If I want 500-530 RWHP, want *cheap/affordable* boost, low maintenence (for a modified car), and reliable/safe tuning .... what's the *dream ticket*?

Turbo or Supercharge?
