Supercharge Or Turbo?

He is making a good point. I see there isn't much love here for the centrifugal supercharger. People forget how quickly the swept the market and it oh so depends on what you are looking for power wise and where you want it. If you think about it, it has the turbo technology incorporated into it. I choose the dual F2 and will match it up with any twin turbo. My reasoning is that I want my power on the short end and dare the turbo cars to catch me. Centrifugal supercharger are torque monsters and if you 60ft well, you can do a nice ET. Nothing top ends with the Turbos but centrifugal supercharger aren't to far behind. I'm going big cubic inches long stroke to help suffice the power requirements for the gear drive. In all, it is what ever floats your boat. Non the less, you will pay to play...
That is a badass setup no doubt about it. It would take twin 88's to run with those I'm sure. However a centrifugal blower is not as Much of a torque monster as a turbo. I wish they where as all ky turbo cars would have never been. The one thong about turbos is people say that the lost power to turn a turbo is there. Well the answer is yes and no to that question. With a turbo in the exhaust stream it creates back pressure. In an n/a engine that would kill power from mid range up. However a turbos back pressure creates torque that was not there before its addition of pre manifold positive pressure. Now there is additional torque before boost is seen on the gauge and a ton more once it is there. How bad *** would a centrifugal supercharger be if it could create max boost way before peak rpm? Well that is where the screw and roots blower came to be so well known once the Ford lightning came around with one they hit the ground running. Flowers instant boost off idle and the turbo full boost 1000's of rpms before redline. However they become less efficient in a hurry cuz they heats the air so much. That is why air to water coolers are done from the factory, cuz it needs cooled off significantly more then a turbo or centrifugal. I know I'm bias to turbos and I can't help it. I've ran them all, centrifugal, roots, twin screw, n2o, and turbo. The best performing out them all was by far the turbo. Not saying the other don't make great power, cuz they do. I believe that my turbo was much more predictable, reliable, and so much more fun to drive. Not one other power added I've had could break the tires loose at any given time like my turbo could at 55mph. Just shear awesome power. All the ones I've had all made the same HP, but the turbo was much more powerful of a setup in the torque department. Also why it was quicker and faster even out of the hole. I will say if your not capable to see a turbo build through to the end don't do it. It take determination to finish one and tons of patience. Most the rest can be bolted on and go in under 12 hours. Planning on a turbo build to be a few weeks to get it all squared away if its your first go at it.
