The S/C doesn't add to the engine bay heat significantly like a turbo does b/c it is not connected to the exhaust.
as for the I/C...works the same with a Turbo as it does with super... Like you said AIR/Fuel/Spark.
And I do admire you for tackling what you have done and not throwing in the towel... Top notch girl.
Dang, I was about to clarify this also. Something I was completely positive in answering. I was never trying to say turbos are bad in anyway, shape, or form. As I've said I really did consider going turbo. But one thing is I agree with revman, the s/c kit makes it feel like you have a (as nicole would call it) real motor under the hood. I can put my petal halfway down and be making the same amount of boost as with the pedal all the way down. I like that. I'm not sure how the turbo compares. I've rode in a GXP once and I must say, my car felt much faster even though I know they're relatively the same. Although neither will ever compare to how Nicole's Trans Am feels, even though her car is relatively the same speed.
