[QUOTE="tobynt, post: 12639243, member: 115996"] I will attempt to provide feedback to the OP first question. The only aspect to the question that I do not fill is having two different types of forced induction on the same car. However, I have had two different types of forced induction on two different cars. I have had a centrifugal on a fox and currently I have an Eaton M112 (Tork Tech Terminator kit) on my 2V. I agree with the OP regarding emotions and opinion to the degree of why one may be better then the other. Tons of debatable information can be found on this site relating to thousands of post about applications and how to overcome deficits that one power adder may have over another. The way I am reading the OP's original question. "In ones experience on a daily (Non dedicated track use car) driver." "If someone has changed from one type of power adder to another, why?" My experience was this. I had a Powerdyne on my fox. I had the same experience as the OP when using the car as my daily driver back and forth to work. Rarely did I get into boost and when I did....I also worried about throwing belts and slippage. While this was my daily driver...If I was to be honest, it was mainly used and built for the drag strip. I would spend a lot of weekends at the strip on Tuesday nights and Saturdays. After some time went by and the novelty of having a supercharger wore off. The car become very boring to drive. Life happened and I started skipping my drag nights for some quality time at home with my family. For me, unless I was drag racing the car. It was actually a very boring car to drive. As the OP stated above, Its a rare day that you take a car to red line when it is your sole means of transportation. I currently have a roots blower on my sn95. I have never tracked this car and I have had the blower installed for almost a year now. I still love to drive the car. I rarely floor the car and hardly take it to red line. The aspect I love the most about a positive displacement blower on a car that mainly sees the open road and/or a simple commute to work. The added power is always there and I feel it on a daily basis. It is very easy to drive this car and see around 2-3 lbs of boost under normal driving conditions. While that isn't much added power. It is just enough to remind you that you have a beast on tap. Any road that has a slight enough incline for you to crack the throttle in order to maintain your current speed...you can tip it just a little more to feel the torque and pull that 2-3 lbs of boost. It will make you smile every time. For me and my opinion. On a daily driver...positive displacement is the way to go. You don't have to get into the higher RPM range to have fun with the car and you absolutely do not have to floor it in order to remind you that something is there. Now, any type of heads up competition. Centrifugal or turbo. A positive displacement blower is just too violent out of the hole. Your only chance of winning a race will be playing catch up and passing them. 1st and 2nd gear are useless gears at anything over half throttle. [/QUOTE]
