 ====== Forced Induction ======
+The three most common methods of forced induction are:
+  * [[:performance:superchargers|Supercharging]]
+  * [[:performance: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.
