I would be down too i like surprises
I’d still run it for science with me on E85. I think you would be surprised.

Nah, not like that at all.POPCORN! LOL! Regardless of centri. PD, or turbo there is nothing like being blown!!!!!
Well yes, I can’t speak for others but I do expect a 5.0 with 12psi boost to be able to pull the skin off a rice pudding at lower revs.I make about 330whp and 430wtq on the hit at 4000 rpm at 40mph with a P1sc on my pump gas/torco tunes 6r80/3.55 car. I’ve ran a good number of cars, PD coyotes, centri coyotes, PD and centri Gm cars, m3’s tuned on E85, turbo upgraded AMG cars, big cubic in GM NA Cars, at around my same power level. None have really gotten out on me. Some making up a considerable amount more torque down low. I still don’t understand the “no power down low” mentality. It’s like they expect a small cubic in high revving V8 to make tire shredding torque at part throttle at 2500 rpm.
To the contrary. I do think a pd has more hit down low, but that also depends on how much power your making vs the other car. I was just saying, if the power levels are similiar, its not that big a difference in a wot race. It's not like the centri is falling back.So you think that a centrifugal hits as hard down low as a tvs based off of one race vs a completely different car with unknown mods. What you describe sounds like a typical centri car, you were even at first and started to pull away once you get in the power band cause you make more power.... later. Take a ride in my tvs car, 2nd gear 40 roll on a tire. So hard off the hit most of the time cars with more power than me still don't come around me until after at least 130. I make over 800 wheel, so it doesn't happen often.
And that’s fine, I don’t doubt the TVS would make decent power down low. But we don’t race from 2500-4500 RPMs.Well yes, I can’t speak for others but I do expect a 5.0 with 12psi boost to be able to pull the skin off a rice pudding at lower revs.
Let’s be real, at 4k you’re making about 2/3rds the power of a similarly equipped TVS. (If the numbers you quoted were with octane booster in the tank, the is even larger)
The TVS is hilarious fun because you can stand on it at 3k in taller gears and make smoke instantly if you choose to.
Horses for courses of course, but personally, I’d hate to spend that kind of money and still be having to drive it as if it was a Japanese 4 pot screamer.
@BrianGT2015
IMO as a manual guy, the question you need to ask yourself is this-
Do you want a car that needs to be kept on the boil at all times, or, would you prefer some effortless power?
What happened to the nitrous car in that thread?Oh boy not that thread. Lol
In my opinion that’s not a very fun powerband in a coyote.
You can read it. 10000? Similar power?? All assumptions he made to defend his argument. I hope that's not his dyno you posted because that's pathetic.What happened to the nitrous car in that thread?
$3,000-4,000 vs $10,000 for similar power and fun on the highway or at the drag strip.
You forgot fuel and gas for travel to refill the bottle every time it runs out as well as the bottle refill itself. Adds up over time. A 150 shot that might get you to the same level on a Coyote will last you hWhat happened to the nitrous car in that thread?
$3,000-4,000 vs $10,000 for similar power and fun on the highway or at the drag strip.
On a 150 shot the rough esitmate is 5-10 1/4 mile hits on a 10lb bottle. Nitrous selling in my area at $4 a pound makes that $40 or $4 a hit. I could spend that on a Saturday just playing around on entrance ramps and back roads. 52 Saturdays in a year and that's $2000. So lets say 1500 a year. At 4-5K for the setup and then just a 1000 a year in giggle gas it quickly adds up. I like having HP on demand and not finding myself on a short leash because the bottle went empty, or I forgot to turn the heater or open the bottle valve or a solenoid sticks...etc. Looking further than the initial cost its a win on the FI IMHO.I’m have about $5k in my entire set up including fuel.
So yeah... hard pass on nitrous lol.
I would love to race your car to see how it compares with the tvs or even whipple but unfortunately, I'm all the way at the east coast and real north too. lol.. My centri car is at 800 wheel on E-85. I had PD blower and twin turbo before but with the Centri is more forgivable when it comes to getting traction. I love my JT and my twin turbo coyote was faster but it suffered from getting proper traction everywhere especially in my area where the track prep sucks... I do not miss turbo or PD at all because there still lots of room to grow with the JT and it also sounds a lot better then the rest imo.Im on 69mm pulley and E85. Last time I dynoed I was on a 72 mm pulley, I made 787 hp 646 tq. I changed to a 69 since, so Id guess I am just over 800 wheel now 650 something tq. Im not trying to say that centris are junk at all, dont get me wrong they make amazing power. But when I see somebody say they are as hard as a tvs off the hit I have to say something lol.
Exactly!!!Anything but nitrous.
