I think you have too much money to play with is what i think... ha ha ha.
The turbos will probably give you more power to play with and will give you better top end grunt, where as the charger will give a full linear curve, be better low to mid, but seeing as though you have the stally setup, I have no clues what would be best.
If you are talking possitive displacement blowers yes but thet run out of breath up top and take power to drive from motor,so if block can handle say 500hp max a blown engine will have to be cut back to 450..
A centrifical blower as in Vortech, powerdyn etc have very similar power curves to a turbo..
The difference between the the two.. Blower and turbo realy is like how long is a piece of string or saying "cows sh!t" !!! [we all knew that?] Yes they all make power, obviously...If you read my above post I doubt a blower would have such a wide power band as mine..But I'm not into knocking one against the the other as there are SO many "variables"..Sprintex and such blowers are good especially on drag strip and they would be set up specificaly for drags but wouldn't last long on street, with drag set up, too much over drive....Saying that most turbo set ups wouldn't either...Other than drag racing when have blown engine been used..Rally cars are turbo, F1 was...
Another you don't drive on boost all the time with turbo either if you don't want to, controling power / boost with right foot. But with blower its there if you want it or not.. Which is a good thing at the drags..But when comparing differences there the turbo street cars and blown are much the same..Its the top fuelers/ alcahol that spin some towards Blowers but rememeber they us oxygenated fuels as well. Its not a comparison....
