Superchargers...

[ColdBusa]

One of the reasons that dragsters use blowers is that there is much more low end torque at low rpms witha supercharger compared to the turbo. This gets them off the line quicker. The turbo (in a car) is not building boost until about 3000rpm's, a twin screw or whipple supercharger (non centrifugal) will build boost at any rpm as long as you are on the gas.

are we talking cars or bikes? big difference btw.

Post up when you experts (you know more than me so I'll consider you that) come to a decision on which is more efficient (less problems, tuning, etc.)?

Or is the Big Bore method the best method for all around use?

Without getting into legalities which is the best-utilized set-up if your not into competing at the drag strip?

I am seriously considering one of these TTS packages next year. Why? Because no one around here has one. I am looking at the stage 1 package. Yes you might make more power with a turbo, but I can keep my dual exhaust this way and I don't really need anymore power than the bike already has.

Yeah, more or less you have a 4-1-2 configuration.  That would have to be a custom fab job to go from the 1 back to 2 as well, right? I haven't seen exhaust for a turbo setup that goes back to duals. The primary reason I am thinking blower is because everyone has a turbo.

Yep if you got money to burn...being different is nice. BUT in the real world...being diffferent means more costly, longer wait time for broken replacement parts (if you can even get them!!!), and a more specific group of people with knowledge and know how to repair, tune, and overall just deal with the setup.
