A centri is no more/less efficient than a turbo when it comes to heat production.
If you want to do road course work save yourself a LOT of headache and leave it NA. This is coming from someone who sells blowers.:thumbsup:
I'm just debating for the fun of it here.
A centri/turbo car will see higher RPM more often. And RPM is the #1 killer of motors.
If the tires are spinning there is no driveline shock.:D
No, you haven't given one straight answer.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!:lol:
Take everyone's road racing experience at Procharger and combine it. Then multiply by 10. That is how much I have forgotten about roadracing.:cool:
Why? I'm not making any claims. You are...
It's what matters to me in a street car. I want my stuff to punch HARD down low.
If I were building a car that went to the strip a lot and actually cared about a few 10ths I would build a centri or turbo car. For a track car I would rather be NA, but if I had to have forced induction it would...
How about another video of the car on the street showing how much time it is below 3,000?:)
1/4 racing is not a good predictor of what will make a street or track car good. If it were we would all be driving "nitromethanes" (poking at your diesel comment;)).
There is an old saying in...
When the bypass is open there is zero boost. There is vacuum.
All the PD blowers I know about have bypass valves.
Blowers are more expensive than turbo's for the OEM's to use.
Fixed
There is about a zillion other forms of racing where torque does win.:thumbsup:
Arguing centri vs PD really is stupid unless the argument is about one specific task. No one blower does everything better. It's like arguing what is hotter, blondes or brunettes. Whatever turns you on is...
Turbo's are not as "bolt on" as a blower is.
No such thing as too much boost when you are just toodle-ing around. You're not in the boost. So there is no boost.
There is no best. The OEM's seem to think it's a PD blower though. Do you see many centri blown OEM cars?
Those are opposing...
