[QUOTE="MarauderTJA, post: 2557878, member: 29875"] Billy, I agree with you in basic theory and respect your opinion. However, a major component which is important which you have not mentioned that gives our cars far more low end power/torque and boost, even for the centrifugal blower, are the four valve heads. These heads can move tremendous volumes of air. Thus the high RWHP and TQ for all the blowers, roots or centrifugal. This along with the four over head cams give our cars serious power in torque and horsepower well over two valve cylinder head engines. However, I do have a 3000 speed converter (4.10's) and, I [U][B]do not [/B] [/U] lack low end power whatsoever. I can smoke the tires at will from a dead stop or at 35 MPH. More than enough low end for me or any daily dirver, to which my car is (22K in one year). Granted torque is extremely necessary for our heavy cars, but as you know the converter/gears makes up for the lack of low end that the roots blower has naturally. I really am looking forward to our getting together, hopefully Labor Day weekend while I am in Trenton, NJ. The most important reason to me is for you to drive my car. Racing you is secondary. But I will have my drag radials on the car and be ready for that too. I am really and truly confident that your opinion will change and you will be equally surprised. I say this due to my friends here in Florida who have Trilogy cars with and without our mods that have told me this. I am confident in my saying this as you will agree when you get the chance to take my car for a spirited drive. TOM [/QUOTE]
