And like a jerk, you replied with "You don't get out much". Black made no statement to what kind of power a TVS can put down, only that for launching, OP would need supporting mods. That 8 second Camaro is on huge radials and thousands of dollars in suspension mods. So your statement about an 8 second Camaro in comparison to what OP will do with a S/C is absolutely irrelevant. In fact, that car is a car only a handful of members on this website will ever achieve...

After you told Black "he doesn't get out much"... now here you are blasting me saying I don't apply suspension mods. As soon as I added only 60 hp, I added springs, sways, complete bushing kit, subframe brace... To date, I have added only approximately 100-110 hp, and now I have trailing arms, end links, strut tower, and coil overs going in... I must be a fool.

So are you lacking attention to detail or is your issue reading comprehension as well? If you want to bash us for it, I suggest you practice it yourself and roll your eyes down to our sigs that show our suspension mods. As it appears, I have almost the exact same suspension mods you do in the next two weeks... the difference is I have a stickier tire... so how smart are we?

ROFL. What 700+ hp car do you know of that doesn't have traction issues weather they make there power via PD, centri or turbo. Saying that adding HP to a car will then make it require suspension mods is just dumb. It's a given. Yeh buy this blower but by itself it's garbage...what? Your car will not have the same suspension mods..not even close. My sig is as old as your internet bench racing career.

Who made mention to tires? You have a stickier tire and? Dude your barley breaking 400 rwhp. Your tires have no choice but to hook.

You clearly missed the point.

I'm in the 11s still on OEM rubber (pre suspension work).. Just have to know how to launch with a PD blower.

You got it! People tend to forget that a throttle pedal is not an on/off switch and that you have the ability to chose exactly how much power you need. That is one of the major benefits of the PD blower. With the throttle body in front of the supercharger your right foot has direct control over the air flow going into the supercharger and the ability to "command" however much boost you need at any given moment. You just have to learn how to drive it.

Maggie TVS 2300, can only speak from my experience with it. Best warranty, & performance IMO

SLP.....IMHO

PD or Centri ? These threads always turn to arguments for some reason. I believe the best thing is to gather as much info as you can, try to get a ride or even better, try a car with both, and then make a decision based on what you like better and your intended use. I personally prefer PD (I've had both), because I love that down low brute torque that reminds me of the old big block days. I do most of my driving on the street and at lower rpms anyways.
As far as track results, both can do the job. Obviously the PD blowers are slow and have no track potential. That is proven by the funny cars and top fuelies..

Me too.
I managed a 1.78 60' time with my Maggie on stock pirelli's. It just takes a little finesse and seat time... No prob.
