and the thing with centrifugal is that they do not get their power untill the late RPMS and would not hit full boost until around 8k and that would not be good on the engine after many 8ks and would cause it to eventually blow. What are some whipples and centrifugals that have worked WELL with our 7?

For regular driving I prefer Iotus(turbo) rather than Blue(SC), but for fun I prefer Blue(SC) over Iotus (turbo) anyday. I don't regret the Supercharger at all. It's just been a more frustrating road. There's not many regrets except for a few issues, mainly heat and tech support. The more power you want, the hotter things get...lol
I think Camden has come a long ways in improving the Blower. It's just still a bit hot under that hood. If they came up with some sorta intercooler setup to add to the blower, they would have much better success rate. I think the Camden has a lot of good about them. I just don't think they care much.
Heres a couple photos of each... Blue is the dark car and Iotus is the Blue green car.

As for the centrifugals, their boost rises expotentially (sp?), so although peak boost is at whatever you rev to, they still make usable power through that band, however there's not many properly sized for us.

Ha ha Blue is the girl and Iotus is the Boy
Some time this summer I want the two to race against each other. Last year Blue beat Iotus without an intercooler, but Iotus now has one. It will be a close race since there's been more done to Blue also. I know Blue will take Iotus at the start, but Iotus is pretty tough once he gets going.
