a correctly sized turbo will make a flatter power band than a super charger, the turbo can hit its full 9psi by 3000 rpm, where as the super charger hits its full 9psi at redline. off throttle the turbo isnt spooled and is not making boost and never takes power from the engine, the super charger is always on and always creating a parasitic load on the engine regardless of wether or not you're cuising down the highway at 1/3 throttle in 5th gear at 3500rpm or if you're at WOT and nearing full boost at 6000rpm, its always drawing power to turn the impeller. for a large engine thats not a big deal, but something small like the 7AFE its alot more noticable.
