Unless you are going over 100 mph you can't tell any difference. The S52 grunt is at a much lower RMP which makes it better than the S54 for autocross and most tracks that don’t have a long straight.

Having owned a car with an S52 I do not think I would go there again. While the supercharger could have attributed to the horrid throttle response in my example, it remains a general compliant surrounding the S52. For that kind of money I would find a nice example with the S54, while it may not have 11,000 miles, it would have a lot more grunt produced by a superior driving engine. I couldn’t agree more.
