I am interested in the pricing, since I just helped a local guy with his M95(?) set-up that only managed to do about 175 at the wheels.
Now, this project was done pretty cheap, and I was wondering what the price difference was to "step up" to a centrifugal SC...

Centrifugals are definatly a better choice for the FC's that I've seen (second to a twin screw, lol), I've attempted various vortech/etc with some OK numbers (the poor FC rides the surge line on the compressors though...), usually runs me around $2300-3700 for those depending on the pricing of the charger.

Hope you get things figured out. I can imagine your frustration.

Changed the top comparison graph to include SonicRaT's Whipple-powered FC that he built running 17 psi.

Why does it look like it goes to about 370 at 8000k rpm? Is that just Excel being lame? For those who are wondering, it was around 348 peak HP

I sealed up the airbox tonight trying to get the intake temps down more. It seems like it was better, but the real test will be tomorrow in the nearly 90 degree heat.

I've never driven a TII; however, I can tell you that a TII with 230 whp would be much faster due to the fact that you'll actually have midrange. I'm hoping that the supercharger upgrade that I'm probably going to do will flow enough air in the midrange to pick up some significant power as low as 4k RPMs.
