Yes. Only mods done when we restored it was going from a 4 speed to a 5 speed, added the stock option A/C and adding a digital radio (but looks like a stock AM/FM player). Well, that and a very warmed over 351W.

Depends on the car and it's use.
I have all supercharged vehicles. All positive displacement blowers for the low end tq and having the power in the part of the RPM range where I actually drive. No need in tons of power at redline... when you look at the % of the time at redline, you'll realize you don't use it up there.

Turbos are more common on Imports and SCs are more common on domestics.
There's quite a few differences. Just a couple of things.
The main advantage of SCs is that there is no turbo lag, the power is there when you want it. With boost, there's a turbo lag, not a huge deal imo.
Another debatable thing about a SC is that some people say that it is less harsh on the motor than turbo. Reason being is the higher boost in turbo with heat up the motor more, etc. But this is really debatable.
Turbos has an advantage of being more adjustable since you can change the boost settings. With a SC, you can only change the boost by changing out the actually pulley...
honestly? i just lovee the sounds of BOV's and when you can hear the turbos spooling haha, SC might be a good choice to go with, but with the car i might go with, TT or single will be the best bet for me. (nissan 300zx, 240sx or supra.... possibly another 350 but iono)
A lot of people with turbos love the sound of my S/C whining more that the sound of their own BOV... they claim BOVs are too common... lol...
But I personally prefer the BOV more, but I went with the S/C since there wasn't a decent turbo kit out for my motor and a custom turbos is $$$....

same concept for different application.
i like the sound of turbo spooling, and i like the whining sounds of SC.
SC u gain power from the get go while turbo needs to build up the pressure, turbo power is very brutal and raw while the SC is alot linear.
turbo is more fuel efficient and friendly than SC than again it depends on how heavy your foot is LOL
