You can say a supercharger will increase power and be responsive, but it will always rob you of about 1k worth of revs and pretty much kill your top end. A twin turbo system is good, but really a big ass single turbo is the best for power. It won't diminish at the top end, and if properly tuned, can have pretty good response, even better than twins sometimes. The optimal setting for most power at all ranges (from what I hear) is a twincharger, which is basically a supercharger + turbocharger system. This system has only been featured on a few cars (MR2 had a kit and Lancia Delta Integrale had this system, try this link for info: http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/L...ncharging.html

If McLaren were to do a twincharger system rather than the twin M3 motors, I don't know how it would've worked out, all I know is it would've been damn cool and earned it an even more legendary status.[/url]
