Yeah they suck on low revving, low compression engines. High compression, high revving engines are another story. 8.5:1 compression is not optimal for a Centri. Coyote/Voodoo are more suited and the 140mph traps with Paxton/Pro-charger kits prove that. Centris just accentuate a given motors powerband. They are the most popular option on the modern 4v engines for sure.

Centriffy blown cars can go like a mad man but not the best choice if you want a wide operating range. Lots of guys with NA cars use them because they are relatively cheap and easy to install. My understanding is the Voodoo engine is a bit soft on the bottom-end where I think a PD blower is a great choice to round out the engine. For a car wearing a license plate low and mid-range grunt is way more useful as that's where the engine will spend 99% of it's time.

Nothing like having an forced induction engine regardless what type is used compared to NA they are not even in the same realm :mj:

Solid! Looks like Adam took care of you!

He did a fantastic job with the tune on this car. I can really feel a big difference in the low end torque which you can see on the graph. Now if only the weather will start cooperating.

Can't wait to see what happens with a not so emissions friendly set of cams.

Also i'd love to see someone make a twin turbo twin scroll kit for these since it's rare you can do twin scroll on a V8 due to the firing order.
