Got to love superchargers, but when it comes down to it what kind would you choose? a centrifugal, roots, or twin-screw? i know it depends on your set-up but when i race i prefer my power to be there on demand instead of having it spool up as in the centrifugal design and turbos. So if u had to choose what supercharger would u choose? and if u pick the centrifugal design why not go turbo?

Im like you man, i like the instant boost. You cant go wrong with a twin screw blower. But centri blowers are cool too, make mad power too, but i love my Kb more than any thing, wouldnt go any other way.

Yeah man im happy with my kb blower, but before i decided to buy it i was debating betweeen a kb or a whipple, so it just came down to who was more popular and whos name has been in business the longest and knew what they were doin

Yeah ya cant forget about turbos. There are some mean ass turbo'd stangs out there.
I hope to be one bad ass v6 turbo stang!!!!
Anyway, ive ridden in a 04 procharged gto (575 rwhp), and a turbo 4.2 mustang (640 rwhp) Two totally different feelings. Gotta say that i love the turbo more.

I just saw that and they seem bad! ive heard some talk of precision turbos as well, but i wonder how they stack up against sts
Precision turbo's are coming on strong. they have a pretty good pressence in NMRA racing.
My car I'm currently working on (not the one in the Avatar) will be running a 114mm precision turbo!!

When it comes to turbo the manufacturer is of no concern its the mm and ar size of the turbo and amount of boost matched with your setup that determines boost lag

Well said, I think that a lot of people out there dont really understand turbo's. Either they were lied to or just not properly educated on how they work.
EVERYONE: Go to VelocityTurboSystems.com go to the FAQ section and read everything! if you still have questions just ask me!
As far as STS goes, they work OK BUT, they have problems with the oil getting to the turbo's fast enough before they start spinning and the Pumps for the return are used improperly Thus causing them to fail due to dry spin. The oil that comes out of the turbo is hot and it is bubbling from the turbo spinning and then the pumps try and send it back but a fluid pump cant pump bubbles. So the overheat and fail. By the time you figure that out you could already be screwed!

If i was to go and get a blower it would be a positive displacement (roots?) that sits in its proper spot. Nestled right on top of the entire engine, so its the first thing that you see when you pop the hood.
