really been debating on turbo vs centri, but since the release of the gated setups for the paxton/v3 setup i havent seen much in the way of how its helped tq and real world track results.... does anyone have more info? i like the centris bc of ease of install, reliablity and bang for the buck, but i LOVE a turbo setup, so im tryin to get the leg work research done. whose all made the swap from centri to turbo or vice versa and whats ur thoughts? same with going to a gated centri setup.
wastegated paxton/v3 setup results?

Beefcake has a lot of testing with it with dyno results and track times. Says its good for around 80rwtq and .4/4-5 mph
I had a Paxton 2200sl with a boss intake and e85 with the beefcake Wastegate set to 10 lbs. I have dyno graphs of it before and after as well. I ended up switching to a turbo in the end due to lack luster torque and a boring power band. The end result speaks for it self.
Graph is of my car with the Paxton, e85, 10 lbs vs a 75mm CPR turbo kit 10 lbs Same car same Dyno...

I will post my result in about a month reason I got mine is to try to spice it up. I think the obvious choice is turbo but I went simple since it's a stock motor.

Holy crap that's a lot of power! Is it a dyno queen or do you have some ET slips to show?
Dyno queen lol, I'm swapping a built auto in it right now, slapping on a 84mm and cranking the boost up. Then gonna hit the track and break some hearts.
on a stock intake, 3.8 Paxton pulley, our setup picked us about about .35 and 5mph
with a full e85 fuel system, we should have no problem getting into the 9.8 range on the stock engine

Is that the plans for that car? Can't wait to see the results!
There isn't an E85 gas station around here for 50 miles, sucks.
Black and red spring is for 10.15 psi. It will show just under 10 on your boost gauge.
