You need to turn those prochargers up to make it worth it.

Cost on A is maybe 10-15k. Cost on B is 20-25k unless you install yourself.
So the centi F1 don't spin hard enough with 800whp the lt4 blower is Gonna perform better with 750whp

How does the z06 feel with the blower maxed out im buying the lt4 blower putting it on my stingray LT1

Car has a cam, flex fuel, our longtubes, etc. To make more they need a larger crank pulley for a magnuson setup. It's as small as I can go on the upper, and it needs a bigger tb.

I've made 840 rwhp with a 2.3l on lsx stuff. It should be in the realm of that once I can spin this thing hard enough and get a good air inlet to them in terms of Cai and tb.

I agree with Joe.... 850rwhp is about the max I've seen a 2.3 eaton do... For the 1.7 to hit 750rwhp is impressive but there maxed out in that area

I think I told you something similiar in a thread before???

It's really all about setup... Centri car really needs an aftermarket tq converter to make it similiar to a PD setup...
It's also about average power throughout the powerband that will make the quicker setup, not just peak numbers

No never told me that I thought higher Hp numbers with the same car would basicly win

For what it's worth eaton has a better reliability track record even against the other PD companions (whipple/KB) from what I've seen
My centri failed the impeller seal at ~4000 miles, 1 month out of the 1 year warranty. Paid $400 plus shipping to have it rebuilt at the manufacturer and it failed a bearing about three months after that. Im running mine NA at the moment as I'm sick of messing with it.

Pd blowers fail too. Friends Maggie died at 15k miles. Another's jackshaft bearings died around there. If you can't deal with a potential failure then stay na
