I just dont think that setup would be all that traction friendly on a street car.
I would think traction would be an issue with 3.27 gears and a KB haha
It may not be the best at the track for getting out of the hole, but the way a centri blowers power comes in later does help keep traction on the street.
I know when I was running my stock stall I could pretty much stomp it from a dig and the car wouldnt spin due to the vortech coming in after a second or so.

Yea..Im running 3.73s with my vortech with drag radials and still can barely hook in 1st/ 2nd without peddling it.

CENTRI. is the path im gonna choose to go down for sure. Thanks for all the help yall!

sweet, post back with results.
The centri vs ts/roots type blower is a pointless debate cause they both have their strengths and weaknesses.
The power will be there with either blower, how you use it will make all the differance.
My buddys vortech gt on 8 psi, manual, made roughly 360 rwhp, 24 rwhp less than my car, yet his best time at the track was like 13.3-13.4 on drag radials.
My car makes 24 more rwhp and I ran 11.70 and im looking for 11.30-11.40 next time out on slicks.
so a full 1.5 seconds, 24 rwhp...its all in the setup.
