Correct me if I'm wrong but here's what I've gathered from the thread:
-turbos generate more overall power
-power generated by a turbo and "turbo lag" are in no way correlated
-Superchargers are loud
-superchargers deliver power quicker than a turbo
-lag generated by a TT kit goes undetected
-turbos are good for drag racing

but quick blanket statements usually ignore the details
turbos generate more overall power
a turbo setup with 8-9 psi can brag they have 30-50 more tq at 4000 rpms, while I can brag I have 30-50 more tq at redline with a 12 psi overdriven vortech
is that an apples to apples comparison? I don't know, but at the end of the day that's what each camp runs just fine on the stock block as far as going to the reasonable edge of block safety

Superchargers are loud
at WOT the exhaust sound of a SC can become pretty loud, but probably not as loud as a TT with test pipes and a 3 inch exhaust...
But yeah, turbos have no real additional sounds to listen to other than the stuttering chicken - I mean turbo BOV

but yeah turbos are more oriented for drag racing and have the edge there
some people don't like running turbos on road courses or autox though, depends on your preferences

actually for anyone who's dynos have been posted - do any of you know what a bone stock Z dynos at the dyno that you tuned at?
I think a relative comparison to your own stock car is a fairly worthy comparison because you can actually say you gained ___% more hp and ___% more tq over stock.
That % of increase can be somewhat compared with less room for error IMO
At the shop I use, the bone stock Z's dyno around 212 whp and 210 tq
so based on the dyno of my car with my belt slipping, I've gained about 98% more whp and 77% more tq than stock

well...I did mention earlier that I think it might be making 470-480whp on a dynojet...I'm not sure yet, especially now that I'm making more boost than when the car was on the dyno getting tuned and I haven't been to a dynojet yet. I guess I should say that when I talked to Dynocomp, they say their typical bone stock Z is around 210-220whp
low 11's though? no way
it's not 480whp of big V8 muscle or a broad range of tq turbo setup reaching 480whp, hence my lower tq numbers
i don't know about 11's specifically though. I'm not the greatest at drag racing and I don't have slicks or drag radials.
I think my trap speeds would be semi decent though
