Default the inevitable s/c question

so im finally to the stage where im ready to slap a power adder on, but not sure which way to go. i use my car as a daily driver mainly. ive had some people and friends tell me if i want some noticable power but not sacrifice a whole lot, to go with the tork tech set up, but i was also in the range for a centrifugal type blower. what are yalls opinions on what i should do? (keep in mind im trying to not spend a WHOLE lot of $ but i dont wanna go the cheap way)
Thanks ahead!

If money is an issue a used centrifugal is your best bet.

your cheapest route will be centri
Honestly, whoever has a centri will most likely recommend one
Whoever has a PD/Roots will recommend one
Whatever is in your price range, all will max out your internals regardless

Well any supercharger can get you 375+ hp, but for $4500 you can easily get a good used Kenne Bell kit with all the bells and whistles. Completely different animal than a centrifugal blower.

Just throwing it out there.

personally i'd just throw a vortech on there. you can have like 2500 into a good intercooled kit and have lots of money left over, to put torwards a mmr shortblock so you dont have to worry about a 400 hp limit
