(correct me if im wrong here, id rather know the facts than just have oppinions LOL)

Depends on the supercharger, roots give low to midrange torque with flat torque curve, centrifigals give more top end power. Since the LSA/LS9 uses the new gen roots supercharger TVS series they are quieter than the old gen superchargers. Superchargers power is instant and have no hesitation. Some folks don't like roots because you have instant power on the low end and makes it harder to put the power down.
I have a supercharged GTO.
