Roots vs Centri vs Turbo.. same boost
Not that this thread really concerns me or not, but I'm just wondering if it's really necessary to end every statement with an exclamation? Sleeperbalt, are you on meth or something? lol U seem farrr to excited over a debate lol Just my opinion tho haha

I have been there when (chevytech? I think was his name on here)did his with the procharger!
The problem with the procharger is its lack of moving air like the roots or turbo. Also you are stuck with the boost! You can not overspin a procharger! it will make too much heat at that point and make the engine knock!
So you can only run 15-18psi before you start overspinning the blower to get the boost up! Now if you could fit a bigger headunit (p1sc or better) in then great but I saw that crap and it didnt really fit that well.
The turbo on the other hand makes a crap ton of power!
The "lag" is worth the overall power plus with a wot box/2 step you can eliminate most of that lag! And you can run higher boost levels with the turbo without increasing the intake temps too much!
Thats just my .02! lol

im am talking about the C1 headunit. C2 could make a little better but not much! Procharger rates the superchargers in free flowing no restrictions. So the 1000 cfm they clam it a bit lame in my book!
And the cost of a headunit! they are over 2k just for that! (no pullies ect)
I know area you can overspin the procharger if you want but in the case of the lsj and the C1 unit it was knocking everytime it hit the magic 80,000 rpm mark!
Im just posting what i learned!

Sorry. I do that when i text too. idk why? lol
cole have you thought about milling the head down like .040 or .050 for a slight bump in compression I know some people who've done it with good results.. and it takes away from your need for custom pistons but will give you the advantage of a bit higher CR

Are all those turbo's really necessary? lol Seems to me it'd just be easier to throw a deisel turbo on there and call it a day....or better yet, just get a 125 gallon air compressor and mount that bitch in the trunk and run it non stop lol
well its 2 turbos 1 centrifugal supercharger and 1 roots type supercharger
haha...i noticed that after i actually looked closer at it. but still, is all that really necessary? And i suggested a deisel turbo cuz they're huge...not a normal application to a non-deisel engine. And about the air compressor...i was talkin about the kind that runs off a small gas generator or 220v ac. it was a joke, meant to make some ppl laugh lol
