Re: Boost on a naturally aspirated small block?

For ease of installation, a supercharger will probably be a lot simpler than a turbo because you don't need all the exhaust tube "plumbing," and the boost control is relatively simple.

Most superchargers are aftermarket products that were designed to be bolted onto a normally aspirated engine. You can buy a complete kit and bolt it on.
In some cases (e.g., the Mustang GT 4.6), it was even offered as a factory authorized dealer bolt-on. Most turbochargers were either a factory installation you have to adapt, or a Chinese manufactured setup that requires quite a bit of tweaking. I really like the concept of a turbocharger because it usually combines decent gas mileage with a significant increase in power. However, I just think its harder to do correctly and keep reliable.
