Don't even get me started on the whole SC w/ IC, I know there are few threads with me arguing that it is possible to do that.
Guess the problem is, these kids just get all their info from super street and scc

yeah the RIPP kit comes with their methanol injection cooling system... which sprays a condensed amount of methanol into the air fuel mixture and helps cool everything and let you push 9psi on stock internals.

another way to do it... get a computer that can run another injector and cycle it to spray water into the mix... i know this sounds dumb, but it works (they did it on the aircraft in WW2, because of the junk gas they had, they need to rase the octane, although this doesnt rase the octane, it works by cooling the valves and cylinder walls to prevent pre-ignition) so there is a new idea for yah you could run more boost and its free (well the water ne wayz)

I believe that u should choose a supercharger or turbocharger depending on how you drive. If your drag racing go with the supercharger because top end is limited. If you enjoy spirited driving on the highways go with the turbocharger. I personally would want a turbo. I love having the throttle wide open on the highways and watching the needle just climb to higher and higher speeds.

I'm glad someone else said that as i was dying to! 
My feelings are 6cyl are pretty equal in terms of SC or turbo. V8's or bigger really benefit more from SC's than turbo's in my experience. 4cyl are better off turbo'd than SC as the parasitic loss is to great on them. My .02!

It's pretty simple and most everyone knows it... some people just prefer one over the other for whatever reason. All that really matters is the owner's/buyer's contentment with the product. For me i don't want to get pulled on because my powerband is to short and my low end is being eaten up! 
SICK!!!
