I often visit another car forum to learn more about my daily driver. I have been reading a discussion on this other forum about turbos and SC'd cars. Everyone there is in general agreement that a turbo'd cars will make more torque than a SC'd cars on the same engine (making similar HP numbers).
It was my understanding that SC'd car made power quickly (instantly) and therefor could make it earlier in the powerband... whereas a turbo had to "wind-up" but was much more efficient at higher RPMs. What gives?
