i think the bottom line is that with a turbo, you will be able to make an unlimited amount of power depending on the build quality of the engine. whereas with a nitrous or a supercharger, you are very limited to the amount of power you can make. in other words, even with a built motor there's still a set amount of power you can make.

i believe that the current selection of a high tech turbos are definitely a replacement for displacement. with full spool-up taking less than 2500rpm turbo lag is almost a thing of the past. of course, a combination of the both (turbo/high displacement) is still the best bet in making the most power.

IMO superchargers are a thing of the past and should have went away with the carburetor...
