[QUOTE="BillyGman, post: 2558602, member: 19962"] Tom, your car is pushing 500 HP to the wheels which is 100 HP above mine as well as most of the supercharged Marauders out there. So your car is NOT the typical case. If you cannot beat my car in a race with having 100 HP more, and 3 lbs of boost more than my car does, then that would be pretty pathetic. The match you're proposing would mean absolutely nothing. Most of the supercharger packages for the Marauder that are available offer 8-10 PSI of boost pressure, unless the buyer alters them like you have. My car has the same 9.5 PSI of boost pressure that the original Trilogy kit comes with, and my car is my daily driver that get's driven 12 months out of the year even in the snow, and sees nothing but 93 octane pump gasoline. My car also has the original stock bottom end, and the stock internals haven't been replaced with forged internals either. And it runs fine, and has done so for 20,000 supercharged miles now (31,000 total miles). With 500 RWHP and and atleast 12 LBS of boost along with a higher than stock stall speed, I certainly hope that your car can get off the line well and perform some good burnouts! If my Trilogy/roots supercharger was pullied to be pumping out 12 PSI of boost like your car is, then we would be able to see what's what. But what you're talking about is NOT an apples to apples comparisant at all. Furthermore, I thankyou for your post, but you don't need to convince me that your car is fast. But that doesn't mean that a roots supercharger that's also pushing 12+ LBS of boost like your centrifugal is, wouldn't have been a better choice for your car. And I disagree with you about the 4 valve cylinder heads making any difference down low in the RPM scale.
