I agree, it's all about the tuning. As for your car Peak, how much torque are you making? Integras are pretty good on fighting torque steer, and I don't know what else you've done to your car as far as tire, chassis and suspension, so you may have conquered torque steer in your case. Superchargers are good for gobs of torque, right at idle (which is why the NHRA guys use superchargers and not turbos). Big turbos can't do that down low. I have seen 500 hp supercharged Hondas (K24s), so it is possible. But that motor was also built by Hondata and HASport. Superchargers also like big engines (because they suck up a lot of power), which is why they're so popular with the V8s. For about 300-400 hp, superchargers will have more torque and no lag. Above that, turbos will be easier on the engine, and easier to tune. But at that point, you're also looking away from DD to race car.
