So I've completed doing my research

Sorry to hear that. As a science guy... research never ends.

yeah that's true, research never ends I'm just leaning towards the supercharger now because when something goes wrong with a turbo, it can become a real headache. I speak from experience with turbos in the past though and I just feel like a supercharger is going to be better for a DD as opposed to a turbo.

Sounds like it's time to change the title of the thread.

The Paxton 2200 is a great blower kit. I have been in both centri and twin screw cars and generaly for street type cars, the TS will get you more bang for the buck. Look at the faster street cars here and on other forums. The huge majority are all positive displacement blowers.

Good luck and let us know. With the aftermarket the way it is, it's pretty hard to make a poor decision.

yeah, I'm looking at both right now. I really like everything that paxton does but at the same time, I like the old school with twin screws and so on. Plus the piping involved with centris sort of makes me a little worried for the same reason I'm leaning away from turbos now.
