most heavy duty equiptment is diesel powered, and they dont really have issues with torque (or lack thereof) and from my understanding, they produce a higher exhaust gas volume than a comparably sized gasoline engine, and therefore have less issues with spool time. also consider that most heavy duty machinery is used in relatively steady state applications.

turbochargers are the clear choice for efficiency, fuel savings, and durability.

in my opinion, in most cases for musclecars, supercharging (blower style) is just plain "easier".

and you dont have to worry about who fabricated your exhaust manifold, and if the welds are going to crack on you.
