i have noticed that most peeps who recommend a centri unit have either never ridden in a twin-screwed, tvs car and/or have no idea how much better they feel under acceleration..

I have ridden in twin-screw cars. Have you ridden in centri cars? What times are you running at the track?
ive driven 4 different centri powered s197's...ranging from 400-560rwhp...560rwhp centri car feels as fast as a 475rwhp twin screw car...

havent taken my car to the track since I put the blower on it

Better for daily driving because the Power doesn't come on till after 3500rpm. That means u can maintain a stock feel for around town and a beast on th highway or track.
Juco, i can drive my car around town like it has 100hp...so thats bullshit

it doesnt matter where the power comes in..it matters if you keep your foot out of the gas or not

realistically, that gives PD blowers an advantage...you can drive it like there is nothing there, or if you stomp on it, you have power from 2k-7k...whereas if you have a centri, you only build boost from 3500 and on

the 560rwhp centri car will obviously be faster than the 475rwhp PD blown car...im not arguing that...I am saying the 475rwhp PD blown car will FEEL as fast as a 560rwhp centri blown car..

mike, laugh all you want dude, i have driven both and I KNOW how they feel compared to one another...

You know what it is Mickey, is that the centri guys think it's easier to drive because they lack the throttle control needed to drive a twin screw. These guys just want to mash the pedal to the floor and have the boost build up, as opposed to having it instantly and have to be able to feather the throttle to maintain traction. I think that is why they say it is more "streetable." But you and I both know that a twin screw is just as "streetable" with the right driver.

It's like that argument that 4.10's make you lose traction with a blower. That's the biggest bunch of BS that I ever heard. You can only lose traction by getting shittier tires. Yes it takes more skill to drive, but you don't lose any traction. The guys that say you lose traction with a blower and 4.10's, are the guys that don't know how to drive a high torq/hp car.
I definitely agree with this...I have 4:10s and a twin screw and I still think it is very streetable...I definitely floor it all the time too, you have to learn how to drive is all..
