Buddy in Denver with a supercharged Coyote made me feel dumb about my turbo build
He was talking about throttle response and how much he hates lag. Made me realize I spent $8k on a turbo kit for my 5.0 and it still feels lazy under 4k rpm. Now I'm thinking about selling the whole setup and going supercharger. Anyone else swap from turbo to blower and regret it or love it?

That "lazy under 4k" thing might be a tuning problem, not a turbo problem.

My 2016 GT felt exactly like what you're describing until I swapped to a Precision 6466 with a smaller turbine housing. The lag went from feeling like forever to barely noticeable because the spool came in around 3200 instead of damn near 4k. Also, my tuner dropped a couple degrees of timing down low and really worked the cam timing to build boost faster. Sold my old 7675 setup for like 3 grand, spent another 1500 on the swap, and honestly it woke the car up way more than I expected. Turbo can still be snappy if you match the hardware right, but it took me two years and a lot of wasted money to figure that out.
