2020 10r80. Whipple or ESS?

No. Because you can fully spool a turbo at 4000 rpm, you can't fully spool a centrifugal until redline.

It's belt driven but that's the exact issue. You can't spin it up until redline.

Turbo engines (EcoBoost for example) are famous for low end power. A centrifugal literally has no more than stock at low rpm

I guess its all in the details. I was just trying to make it simple to the OP that's how it all got started

Well the video says that a centri is basically a belt driven turbo, and has somewhat of a lag down low in the rpm range. So it basically it does little down low gets more efficient as the rpm's rise. Kinda similar to a turbo I'd say lol just a lot more linear and quite different from a PD blower. I guess maybe the guy in the video is wrong too, who knows.

Centri is not like a turbo.

Centri is built similar to a turbo intake side, but it doesnt behave the same way. Turbos spool based off sizing and engine exhaust gas flow, some turbos can full spool at 2500 rpm, others at 7000rpm,
Centri simply linearly spools up power the higher the rpms go, and turbo doesnt usually spool power in linearly

Just cuz it looks like a turbo doesnt mean it does stuff like a turbo

Definitely closer to a turbo than a whipple though
