your logic about procharger owing vortech and paxton confuses me.

 

Screw the belts and go with a Turbo. Back half puller? Well, I have never owned one (even though it is on my list), but I did ride in my buddies 302 with a Cartec kit and it hit so hard you would have thought that he had a solid fuel rocket on the back.

 

the faster a boosted car moves the more air will cross the IC and the more power it'll make (in theory) so yeah... they do get faster in the back half. Maybe not by a bunch but enough to consider. Turbos have a reputation of putting out hotter compressed air than blowers due as near as I can tell to being driven by fiery exhaust gasses. The compressors themselves do wick up a good bit of heat from the hot side to the cold side (less with proper heat shielding) but heat is heat and bad for power.

Blower cars with intercoolers should see more power as they go faster too but since that kind of compressor is isolated from the fire side of the motor there's not as much potential for heat transfer.

Turbo does in fact hit like a brick... full boost at whatever RPM it spools at.

 

I can reference the article once I get home. I am currently in the sandbox, but a turbo can and should be intercooled just like a SC, and makes gobs more tourqe than the Centri charger and at least 1/3rd more power than the roots styel, KB or Whipple while not robbing you of power with a belt.

 

that's totally undisputed. It's 100% true. I think the point at debate is where it makes the most power.. in the first 700ft or the back half.
