[QUOTE="justinsstang, post: 14931301, member: 164304"] Sorry but I have no interest in driving an hour and 40 minutes to race for cash. Cash runs 99% of the time just ends up with someone lying about mods. If I were to race him it would just be for another educational video to further the paxton vs turbo argument and include more "real pavement" data instead of "keyboard racing", but I don't want to allot the time to drive there and back. In that regard if he wants to come to Mount Vernon we can do some interstate runs for fun. The $100 he gets to keep in his pocket from racing me at fair (reliable on stock block) boost levels will pay for his gas lol. (only joking) I don't have any doubt of the possibility a turbo manual car can beat me if they turn up the boost etc. but... that wasn't the purpose of these runs as anyone can do that, even with a centri. He could turn up the boost and as a response I could just swap on a smaller pulley and both of us could end up at unsafe and unreliable power levels for the stock block and both end up needing a short block lol. Simply put, our power output should be close to the same with the boost levels we are running at and I won. The point was to show that stock block... turbo vs centri isn't all that far apart. There is no scenario where a turbo should destroy a centri car if they're at similar power, and vice versa. Keep in mind this is mt82 vs mt82 as well. Now if I had been running an auto I'd personally pick a turbo setup. But as for now... I'm happy with my centri setup on my stick car. [/QUOTE]
