That's fair enough. Just wondering if there's something that makes Procharger better (maybe just their proven track record)?He's not sold on the ESS "hype".
For me, driving a manual 600+ torque PD blown car on the street was a total buzzkill. No street legal tire in the world will hook on an shitty road surface with that much low end power. I know it's a driver issue at the end of the day, but trying to launch from anything under 30mph was such a pain in the ass that it was just no fun half the time.No wrong choices if you are doing a max-effort drag build. Centri, PD, turbos... all will deliver MORE than you could imagine.
For a street build/occasional track day, PD blower or turbos with lots of cooling. Centri is boring AF on the street. Sorry... my experience with one SUCKED. Belt slip all the time, no power at all until 5k rpm, LOUD ass bypass valve ALWAYS open unless you are WOT. Pass!
Flame suit on. lol
Turbos are definitely the endgame build, but they also have a lot of cost, complexity, cooling concerns, and all for the torque curve to kick in suddenly and end up shredding the tires anyway.
To each their own for sure, there's no wrong way to go with boost. Just trade offs. But I love centris because they're simple, easier on the drivetrain, and give you a chance to get rolling before they kick in.
