Do you have the December issue of Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords?
If so, check out the dyno charts on the four inductions
Roots
Twin Screw
Centrifugal
Twin Turbo

See how and where they make their power, and decide on that.
Keep in mind that they use a 4v motor for those tests, 1000 more rpms to rev up vs the 2v motor.

As the rpms climb the turbo really kicks butt!

Then again if we're talking about an everyday driver/occational strip car where is 99% of your driving going to be done? NOT in the upper RPM ranges that's for sure.

I still think for a street car that will be taken to the track sometimes a KB is the WTG.

If I was building an all out race car I would definatley go with the TT.

I would go TT for the sheer novelty and rarety (sp) that it is, hardly anyone runs TT's, but that's just me.

I don't understand why anywould would trade power in the 3000 - 6000 range for power in the 2000 -3000 range unless your towing, cause if your drivin fast your never below 3k anyways

i debated for about 4 months between KB, Saleen Series V, and TT's, and all I found out was that TT's are awesome, and I shouldn't have any other choices

Well, if you're just out for that MASSIVE power.
Go with a single turbo.

yeah but then it won't be hidden. The TT's by turbochargedpower.com are hidden behind the bumper, and it just looks like you have CAI. perfect, except for the jet like spooling
