Oldman,
I am thrilled that you have so much experience running different solutions that you feel you have the expertise to give advice. That’s great. What’s your best quarter mile time to date? I am assuming you have put down some numbers with a previous build because surely someone who has a sole qualification of running a 12 second quarter mile and making a decision to buy a blower isn’t qualification enough for you to feel comfortable giving advice?
You keep saying that someone has “proved your point” when we say that you have to be careful in gear. You do realize that the torque/Hp curves are repeated in every gear, right? So, let’s say that in first gear, the centri and the PD blower both have to be careful so they don’t blow the tires off. For certain a PD blower will have more tire shredding power immediately in 1st. But, what happens in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th? In every shift when the PD blower with the same boost level has 100wtq advantage in a completely useable gear, what happens to acceleration in each of those gears when you compare the two cars?
Even if you have never been to the track, never raced on the street, clearly you can see how having more power under the curve results in more useable power throughout a given run, right? Does it make sense to you that throughout a run, having more power under the curve is important, not just for the first traction limited gear, but every gear.
Further, if there is a limit to the power that is useable on the street then does that similarly mean that when a person adds a converter or ups the boost on a centri blower, that is also a worse setup than the base setup? In other words, a centri blower running 7 psi runs 550rwhp. A person running 10psi has 650whp, well the 10 psi Procharger now has similar tq to the PD...does that mean the Procharger is unusable with 10psi? So, in your opinion, it’s always foolish to add more power than the stock Procharger kit provides...
Have fun with your setup. Happy you enjoy it...the Procharger is a blast. You don’t have to completely make shit up to justify your decision. Perhaps stick to what you like about your setup instead of commenting on other setups with which you have no expeince.
