Nope. I am saying every supercharger has too much boost down low on street tires to simply floor it like a stock car. With any power adder, you have to learn how to drive your sled. You get to push the throttle 3/4 full throttle and I get to push 1/2 throttle, but more torque and getting into the torque curve/ powerband is a key to being faster. That’s why Prochargered cars use a converter to get into and stay in the powerband. It’s why a PD blown car doesn’t need the converter.
So, if you are using a centri blower without a converter, you are missing your real powerband from a dig and on every shift. If you add a converter, you essentially push your car into the peak torque/powerband and it’s exactly the same as a PD blown car.
At the end they two paths end up almost identical when the mods match the power supply. If you don’t match up, it’s not as fast period. It doesn’t mean it’s not fun or that it’s not fast. So, bottom line, match up your mods to maximize the power for your sled. If you don’t, it’s not as fast. In other words, if you go centri, add a converter to keep up. If you go PD, spend more on the blower and skip the converter.
My personal opinion, both paths are awesome. Go with the option that your tuner is most comfortable doing and don’t look back.
