Fabulous, but the ForcedFed car is turbo'd not supercharged. The Hondata car is supercharged.

Turbocharging is actually turbosupercharging shortened, so technically the engine is supercharged. The supercharger in a turbo is driven by the exhaust.

Those numbers are from the Forcedfed 400 Race package - which was never marketed after development. In its place, Forcedfed is developing a 380R package (the 380 is for crank HP) that will be track-focused, but still able to run on the street.

That's one way to back into trying to be right.

I think we all know the difference between a supercharged and a turbocharged ride.

Seems pretty sick. I can't wait to pick one up.
