What about a supercharger, would a beddy be able to reach a speed that would allow a supercharger to kick in. And if it could reach speed, how safe would a beddy be.

There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"

Ok, i was asking, as i am not up to speed with them. I was just wondering if they are  used for speed or for better economy. I am not putting one on my van, but thought if they help with towing or the like then yeh. I mean why do you have a turbo / supercharger ?

For more power George They force more fuel/air into the motor which makes more torque /power Definitely not for economy But with a positiv displacment supercharger it gives more torque down low in the rev range & when driven right gould use less fuel

Modern cars are running two turbos, a small for down low and a big one for higher revs, this can wipe the lag. Which makes it easier to control in the wet exspecialy. The size of the turbos or blowers is what brakes it up from torque, power or economy. It depends on what you want and build it for that. Tooo many people get carried away when building motors and then they chew too much juice, hard to manage in traffic. They are not the cheapest way to go but the end result can mean an orsam alround motor
