Pros and cons between turbo and supercharging

Bill Dedman said

It's a moot point because the NHRA rulebook specifically outlaws turbochargers in the Fuel classes, and has for years. There has to be a reason NHRA won't let them run...:blob:

IMO it has to do with regulating boost. I read the NHRA's rule book concerning use of turbos in Pro Mod. It's severe. They are showing signs of loosening up, but don't hold your breath. Rule making bodies aren't known for moving quickly, except when showing someone the way out.

In defense of NHRA (or NASCAR for that matter), they don't want anything that will screw up the show. A track oil down from a grenaded motor or domination of a particular car tends to screw up the show.
