DEVONGARVER why would you think the centris are dumb? even with stock mustangs one of the main issues at the track is traction coming off the line and a twin screw will give you more punch right off the line which would make traction worse so you cant launch it like it was stock. the centri you can launch it like its stock and not have the serious traction issues that the twin screw would have off the line then the power builds as the rpm's build and as far as low end you're only using that on the initial jump off/ pull off/ launch after that you are staying in the upper rpms till the race is over so twin screws may be more expensive and have more low end but how much time do you spend in the low end its fun to roast tires but if ya spinnin' ya aint winnin' and cetris pull more on the peak so IMO all that being said that doesnt make the centris dumb. just less stress and abuse on parts and tire at the jump off. but its really up to you EI-03-GT

"If you compare a non-intercooler root style at 10 psi vs. a intercooler centrifugal at 10 psi is 130 degrees F to 13 degrees F. Its also 100 degrees difference at 10 psi. The above data is from Supercharged! book page 40 and 42 ISBN 0-8376-0168-1"

Next, what kind of knuckle head goes out intending to win races with a stock suspension???? Do you really think someone wanting 5-600 hp is going to leave his suspension in stock form????
Have you ever looked at a torque/hp curve from a KB? Flipping nuts! It keeps on climbing! If you have traction, your flyin!! Believe me, every type of power adder has it's advantages and disadvantages, i happen to like KBs, whipples, etc.
