[QUOTE="01yellercobra, post: 15559845, member: 35549"] You're shoving extra air/pressure into the engine. It's going to be hard on it no matter what. A bad tune can kill an engine just as fast with a centri as with a PD style. A good tune and keeping up on maintenance is the secret to getting life out of an engine. But plan on eventually having to rebuild with better parts. A centri set up has a BOV/BPV as well. All blower set ups need to have one. A centri is moving a lot of air at idle. Especially when you start moving down in pulley sizes. Here's my theory/experience.... Centris get called out for lack of torque because people bolt them on and pulley them for 6psi on the top end. So yeah, they're not going to produce the down low numbers because the boost isn't there. Once you start spinning a centri harder the torque comes on a lot faster. I had a dyno graph from my old D1 set up on my 5.3 and the torque looked like a PD blower set up. Yes, the extra cubes helped, but having the blower pullied agressively makes a difference. I ran a D1, T trim, and an F1A on that engine. It never lacked for down low torque. I could blow the tires off just as bad as any PD set up. Belt alignment can suck. I chased that issue for a couple months. But even PD blowers can suffer from it. My buddy is dealing with it with his Metco lower set up. [/QUOTE]
