Which power adder?

[beefcake]

if you have the means, the op gears are def a nice safety addition.

if you really like the screw blowers, the roush or the vmp are very nice. we just did a stage 3 for a member and one of our custom roush specials, both very nice

my main preference is low cost high speed.. lol from my understanding a TVS ramps up faster.

Op,

Ive had or been in nitrous, twin screw, pd blower, and turbo cars. Nothing is more fun than driving or riding in a turbo car. Plus ive seen stock motors last a good bit longer with a turbo.

If you have an auto... Can't beat a TVS for simple OEM quality, reliability, and stock drivability. Full weight 10 sec street car... I drive mine to the track, air down the tires & run mid 10's. Air them back up & roll out!

If you have a stick... A centeri will be easier to hook up and still get you in the 10's... 9's are possible in a max effort setup.

If your after a 1000 HP street car with a built motor & money is no object, go turbo.

TVS will always be my torquey, fun to drive choice. Centrifugal lack of torque might not hurt them in a car set up for the track. But when a centri guy hops in a pd blower car and starts giggling from all the accidental wheelspin, that says it all.

Or you could go turbo, but sounds like that's not really the op's question.

I don't know, this looks fun! Please correct me if I'm wrong, stock motor, trans, suspension.

You've owned PD cars in the past and liked them, for a convertible and your goals I'd say you'd probably be just fine going PD. Maybe look into the new VMP set-up. It seems to have a little more "grow" room than some of the other PD set-ups. Enjoy the new ride!

Thanks for all the replies. I don't really go to the drag strip that much anymore. I have always been a little more into handling. That being said. I miss the power of my Shelby and Termi. But this car is something I want my wife to comfortable driving. She was a little afraid of the Shelby and Termi. I have thought about staying N/A. I will probably go the TVS route. Everyone seems to be really happy with them. Like I said, I have had high horsepower cars. Now I just want something that I can beat on a little but not be afraid to drive anywhere. Again thanks for all the info.

Yessir. Converter is the only thing I believe.

Yep all stock w springs and a converter. That's our base kit. High 9's on 7psi. He daily drives it and has over 20k miles on it now. Just drove from central Flroida to Houston last week without a hiccup. Had one accidentally go 140 this weekend on 8psi. He has to turn it down lol

Yeah guys when was the last time you seen a TVS hit the 9's on 7psi?? op:.............................. Thats what i thought!

 

[STAMPEDE3]

9s seem to be irrelevant to what the OP is looking for.
What is best for the 1/4 mile or even the best for you is not what may be best for him.
Everyone loves numbers.
In his case, who cares who won or went the fastest.
