I guess if you read the post it also states that after the KB shredded the belt it was only putting out 8 - 9 psi but the PC was still putting out 11. The KB beat the PC running 2 - 3 psi less than the PC. I guess if you like the cheap way out then you can have the PC. I'll taek my KB any day over one. You drive the VW beetle, I'll take the Porshe.

a KB equipped car is also a lot harder to come out of the hole with because of all the power it makes, where as any centrifugal style blower doesn't even begin to build boost until 3000rpm roughly.

pros and cons of KB
pros = instant power
cons = instant power

OK tell that to Jonn Mcgowan who ripped the other guy on 2 - 3 psi less. A KB makes instant boost whereas the PC needs some rpm to get going. A good set of slicks and your off like a rocket

This is a never endingsaga, which S/C is better?
All I know is my buddies with Centros wish like hell
they had the moneyto buythe KB instead. But, for the money spent
they are happy with the results they have gotten with the Centro.
I wanted the the best out of my $3500.00 and I got it.

Oh I was going to get a KB and I was so very close to it but considering my budget I think I did the right thing. With the money saved from buying a PC instead im going to have upper and lower control arms adjustable struts, clutch + flywheel(Shouts out to Fidanza meh sponsor), 3.73 in the rear even though most people tell me to go with 4.10 I like cruising, a set of huge MT slicks, with the rims(ebay rocks), and enough money left over to pay for a new axle in the future because im pretty sure I will need it. Though if I did have the money KB all the way, if they get the launch right, out the hole they are going to slaughter me.
