I vote E-Force! But If I were you I'd order a set of GT500 Pumps too. Its like the only important thing that doesn't come in the standard E-force kit.

I was just going to say the same thing. The Eforce is a TVS.

Direct quote from Edelbrock:

"The core of the system is the all new Eaton Gen VI TVS® Supercharger rotating assembly; the four lobe design features 160° of twist for maximum flow, minimum temperature rise and quiet operation for excellent drivability. These complete packages include throttle body, supercharger assembly, intake manifold with an industry exclusive 15" long runners, 110 square inch air-to-water intercooler, heat exchanger, proper spark plugs, handheld DiabloSport flash programmer with proper calibration, installation accessories and engine covers that offer a clean, custom look. 50-State emissions exemption order pending."

I vote procharger

remeber, torq and throttle response are great and all, but will always be limited by how much traction you have and how much of a beating your drivetrain can take.

on these cars I am a way bigger fan of the way centri chargers build the boost. since the power doesn't hit as hard as a roots or a lysolm you can run more power before worrying about cooking pistons, wrecking transes, ect.

The highlighted Italic statment is almost completly innaccurate. Also, if you set your car up for a PD blower you can get just as much/little traction as a centri blower. Its all in the way you set up your suspension. Also, your only going to be melting pistons because of bad tuning. Not because of what type of forced induction your using. If that were the case, no one would ever used PD blowers.

 

[JakeM]

In my opinion, driving style is a bigger factor on whats better for daily driving than the type of forced induction. With most of the new PD blowers, you can't even tell they are there until you get into it. As far as "easier" to get traction at the track, I beg to differ. Sure off the hit maybe, but you still have to deal with the top end comming on like a frieght train with a centri or a turbo. If your having troubles getting traction with a PD blower you need to make changes to your suspension and maybe your driving style.

i wanna know how that guy on imboc got 518 hp out of a magnacharger?! He wont fess up...ive tried! I voted paxton.

Tiny pulley, near stock compression if not higher and full bolt-on's.

 

[JakeM]

It's still easier to get out of the hole with a centri. The fastest s197 was justin burchum with a centri

Sure is, Centri and nitrous. But can you really compare his car to your's or the OP's car? Also, I'm sure that the reason he runs a centri is because its easier to get out of the whole? We are talking about a daily driver, not a race car. Also, Vinny Barber still has the fastest single power adder S197. Thats a turbo car. Not a centri.

 

[JakeM]

Your right. My bad. Either way, in the end it comes down to driving style. I think the OP should drive both and then pick. Better to make a informed decision based on experience. Both are good kits and I'm not saying a PD blower is better than a Centri. They are both great, just suited to two differen't driving styles.
