Default Super charger

I know a super charger doesn't put as much stress on an engine as a turbo, but how bad is it for the engine? Is it worth putting on the tc or not?

Actually it is pretty stressful too, since both compress the air in the cylinders. That's their purpose, also the S/C is using power from the engine at the same time to create even more power, making power exponentially. So stress in the cylinder+ stress on th crank belt side. Turbos use exhaust velocity to spool, but also create more pressure in the cylinders. Soo.... there u go.

Also, thi is in the wrong are of the forum. Should have posted int Force Induction.
