[QUOTE="SpookSVT, post: 3393732, member: 34120"] The lowend of a PD blower does'nt make it any better for getting off the line at the track, IDK where you got that idea. A centri is so much more smoother on launch, you can launch at a higher RPM w/ a centri which is right inline w/ it's powerband where it matters. The mid-range power of both blowers are comparable where the centri will just keep making more TQ and thus out accelerate the PD blower car. Unless you have slicks or DR's and a drag supension and a driveline to back up excessive high RPM launches w/ a PD car which I doubt many will have for the street, Your not at a great advantage at the starting line like you think. The higher your able to launch the car w/ good traction the faster you can get through 1st and into 2nd. Since the revs drop very little between shifts w/ the cobra you've stayed in the high revs which is where the centri shines at (where the PD blower is running out of steam and becomes very inefficient due to heat soak). The fact of the matter is a KB/Whipple car can not run w/ a centri or turbo in an acceleration contest due to the fact that they CAN NOT pump out the volume of air and efficiency that a centri or turbo can. There is no denying that. The only exception to this is a Top Fuel or Funny car, but they're besides the point and a totally different animal. I think an F1A could hang w/ a turbo if it had just a sullivan or 01' intake manifold. [/QUOTE]
