supercharger, no lag, instant power , the more you rev the more power, unlike turbos which only spin to a certain speed then cannot go any faster!

Ermm.
You ever driven a G60? they run out of puff at high rpms..
Centrifugal charger is as you say more revs more power, but they don't kick instantly as they too take time to spool as the crank rpm that drives them increases. If a Pd charger then yep.. instant torque, but not sure how long it is sustained.
If looking for a charger/turbo conversion, check out the power plots of torque delivery etc, and ideally get a demo drive in one. Not all chargers are alike.
