why do you guy's like a turbo vs a centrif Supcharger?

First I want to say that this debate is good, but Rumble you are mis-informed. I realize that you dont believe what you read. So are you speaking from experience? I am. I absolutely love the Procharger and or a roots blower. They have their advantages. I have built many of all styles including big nitrous motors! There is nothing more awesome than a 500 hit of nitrous! With that said a roots blower is instant response. A centrifugal thunders as RPM increases and is much like a turbo. Now a turbo is endless power! It just keeps going. Ask any of the guys here that have a turbo V8 Mopar and then ask for a ride and you will believe. The problem with centrifugal superchargers is the belt system. No one has run a V belt since the Kennedy administration. The first centrifugal blower motor I built had a D1SC Procharger. It has a 6 rib serpentine belt and anything over 10 pounds of boost the belt slips. Oh and I have news for you, there are a ton of people running 24 pounds or more on the street, just because you dont believe it doesn't people dont do it. Look around next time your at a drag strip and dont just look at the Mopars. I have at least a dozen friends running more than 20 pounds of boost on the street, on pump gas, with methanol/water injection. I believe that you dont believe what you read. Try reading a book sometime its quite enlightening.


Oh and the exhaust gas expanding? Its the same principle that scavenging works on. Ever heard of that? Its all in that book.
