 +The three most common methods of forced induction are:
 +
 +  * Supercharging
 +  * Turbocharging
 +  * Nitrous Oxide

 +===== Turbocharging vs the M90 Supercharger =====
 +
 +Consider that a stock L67 with an M90 produces 240 horsepower at the crank at 8 psi. \\ A turbocharged L67 without an M90 will produce 300 horsepower at the crank at 8 psi and can consistently reproduce that without as much heatsoak.
 +
 +An M90 will also struggle to produce more than 10 psi without introducing a ton of heat into the intake resulting in knock retard. \\ A turbocharger tends to be more efficient at higher speeds so it can easily produce a much lower temperature air charge at higher levels of boost. Because of this it will require a lot of boost pressure to introduce knock retard on a turbocharged L67.
 +
 +A 3800 with a stock cam and no engine mods can easily make well over 300 wheel horsepower with an intercooled turbo. It would require a lot of engine mods to do this with an M90 supercharger. \\ The highest horsepower builds all utilize turbochargers.
