I know Centrifugel blowers dont boost fully till redline, but i'm willing to bet that with 14psi it will actually feel as fast as it is!

your correct. He IMHO has the FASTEST/MOST HP maxima.
Now, like mardi said apples to apples, very few people (IF ANY ) have gone down the road mardi has. And I hope one day to have better HP & 1/4 times.. but you gotta have something to shoot for, right.
His car is one of a kind. And there is no turbo , as of today, that I know of that has the same mods as he.
BUT at the same time there is no SC with an IC that has run a Turbo with the FMIC.
So until we get cars with similar mods, there is a fudge factor.
I hope matt or jay25 or anybody with Nitrous/SC/Turbo puts out 400 HP and runs 11's.
My car is limping, BUT I'll put it agaist your car. I am making 3-4 PSI and FMIC and I have an exhaust leak and I am an auto.
So if I win/lose what does that even say/prove???? NOTHING
It appears to me your trying to turn this thread into a flame war. It could easily be done, but why?
My first question to you, what can YOU run?
I can't run DIDDLY. My car is AFU IMO.
Enough of my rant .. and NO I am not on the bash craig mack bandwagon.. I am on the bash anyone I want bandwagon

I have to agree with this. I have ridden in Matthel's car with the old turbo T3/T4 and it feels fast ... very quick acceleration, where mine has lag unless you drop the clutch at 3500rpm. Still when mine gets on the boost it is very quick but yeah you don't feel it cos you're already moving pretty quick. I am hoping my new GT turbo will fix that with faster spool and flow more for more HP at the top end ... soon! The shop is almost done with moving!
As for Matt's (Mardi's) vs mine. If we both ran the same actual peak HORSEPOWER (non-corrected to the wheels) I would have to disagree since a turbo peak power comes on before a centrifugal and produces more area under the curve.
I am not saying that my car is faster than Matt's at all in its current form, I am just saying given these conditions, I think that this would happen. Matt ownz us all with his 11 run. By the way, don't you need a roll cage below 12? Dunno, I am not sure of all the NHRA rules. So when are we gonna see 10s Matt? hehe!

11.499 and under at Maryland International Raceway for a cage, a goal indeed!
I'll say it again just like this, Their aint that much difference between turbo and SC, mostly hype. However, if I was just starting my project and had the money to spend I would go turbo, prolly PFI. The low end tq and the abality to use a boost controller are BIG advantages over a SC. But for now what I have works well for me, so "It is, what it is!"
