um, not to go off topic, but who's being aggressive to you on THIS thread? (I've seen some of the others) Or suggesting you don't have experience and knowledge worth listening to? I just see one line about 'where are you getting this about roasting tires'... It's all good...
peace and love and all that!
I haven't gotten to drive many centrifugal-boosted cars, just a couple of test rides over the years. I wish I had more personal experience in comparing them. But I do know I LOVE this roots blower, and the KB is only better than it!

I know mine is just a roots and not a twin-screw, but similar in the torque power curve, and ya I don't roast the tires either. I absolutely love the low end torque...
But yeah he's right about the debate never ending. There will never be a clear 'this one is better' answer...

For me I am going off my experiences with 2 different centri blowers and a pd blower that have been on the same vehicle. That is where I am getting my opinions from. From my experiences I did not like centri blowers. I feel that if I was going to run a centri blower I might as well just get a turbo and I'm not really all that into turbos right now, maybe later in life. I prefer my kenne bell, but in all honesty I was actually wanting a whipple, I decided i didn't want to f' with a torque tech kit to run the whipple though.

okay, anyways about the BLOWERS! and not roasting tires. lol ill be using it at the local 1/8 mile and occasionaly the 1/4 mile, but its really far from my house, plus im running an automatic tranny, the only reason ill most likely go with the vortech is because i simply dont have the money for a KB at the time, and with the current economy i cant afford it, i know its only a little bit more but in the long run its a huge difference. the only problem i have witht he KB is worries about blowing the motor. dont get me wrong, i LOVE KB and what they do, the SC it self, but a buddy of mine had one and blew it on a dyno right in front of me and him and he currently only has the mods that i do, but maybe it was just his luck :P

shoot me a pm what your price range you're looking to spend is, I keep an eye out on blowers for sale all the time so I may be able to help you find the blower of your choice. I keep an eye out mainly for kb's, prochargers and vortechs so i may know of one in your range for any of them.

OK, done with tangent. Back to helping our fellow Mustang enthusiast enter the wonderful world of boost!

oh there's something to consider too, the quality of support between those two. Many folks say that KB is lacking in customer service, that Whipple is better in that regard. Something to possibly consider if you lean towards KB...
