[QUOTE="E. Green Cobra, post: 267951, member: 6592"] The reason is that a positive displacement supercharger is not dependent on rpm. The centrifugal is. Centrifigals are characterized to make more peak, hp and less tq than a similar setup with a "roots" type. The 03's tq gets it moving. There are ways to get the extra tq out of a centrifugal supercharged motor. An experienced tuner can pulley the tq curveto a nice broad flat one as opposed to the ramping peak normally associated, also using a smaller blower i.e. a novi 1K to a novi2k, or adding an intercooler to the novi2k would give a nice broad tq curve, also fuel and ignition play a role. Stroking or boring a 4.6 out to 300+cid also would give you that tq. The easier way to do it is to throw the gears (that you likely already have) in there. 4.10 and a centrifigal, is an equal of an 03'. 1/4mile wise a similarly modded centifigal will burn a 'roots' type -if you need proof~ look at what all the racers use. From a roll that tq is helpful in moving the car perhaps giving it a jump at first, however a properly geared and driven centrifgal, should have no problem overcoming that disadvantage due to its superior high rpm breathing.
