I put him on “Ignore” a long time ago.

I’ve done that to one …hat. I hate doing that. But some times its necessary.

Probably the most ignorant post I've seen in recent times.

Why, A s/c takes a bunch of power to spin and heats the air while doing it even with twisted rotors. Turbo's don't take 10%-20% of the engines power to spin, And have a better lay out to cool the charge after compressing it. The s/c coolers call for a tall hood, or risk from failure if water cooled And things go bad to really bad when they fail.
What do you think it takes to spin that s/c at peak power?
IIRC Roush stated something like 82hp at full gallop.
The Ford gt uses hair driers Why would they use them in their "halo" car and not the s/c if it was "better"

For this particular application, Ford disagreed :

"Ford considered turbochargers, but the parasitic loss from a supercharger was worth it to improve throttle response and power delivery. Ford engineers say the engine makes “well over 850 gross horsepower” before driveline loss. Packaging was a major issue, too. Adding a pair of turbos greatly increases the amount of plumbing needed"

Regardless of personal thoughts and theories, I don't think anyone can deny that what Ford turned out of the factory, with a warranty, knowing full well how hard these cars were going to get beat upon is quite staggering

Agreed, But I would have liked to see what they come up with in a turbo'd v8 format leaving the dump a s/c on the v8 to the Roush cars. I am thinking it was a space/fitment thing they went with a s/c and not turbo's .
But some calling the idea or opinion that they should have went hair drier "ignorant" is just sad.
