Been researching and pondering my FI decision and thought I had it nailed down to a procharger but today watched several vids that really have me questioning that decision. Specifically on the power delivery. Pls reality check my thinking on this:
For a NON daily driver, good weather, weekend toy, M1 6sp. One of the biggest advantages is the procharger is the exponential boost growth, meaning no boost at low RPMs making the car very much like stock around town. Good manners in the rain and inclement weather, less wear and tear on the motor and drivetrain, better mileage, etc. awesome for daily drivers, right?
The pro or con depending how you look at it for PD blowers is the linear boost so there’s boost at all RPMs, making the car behave as if it’s got a larger displacement motor all the time. Not so good for traffic or bad weather but power instantly on demand.
so in a car whos only job is to put a smile on my face, it seems the PD blower would be the better way since it’s down sides don’t apply to my driving situation mirroring the fact that the upsides of a centri blower advantages don’t apply to my driving situation. Does this make sense?
