    i have a novi 2K on my car and my buddy has a KB on his.
    i like his as a fun street car but i still like my centri for traction purposes.
    PD blowers are great if you want 500 rwhp but it is hard to get them to hook.
    mine will hook 600 hp with no problems

    both have their ups and downs. it's really a personal preferance.
    i prefer TT!!!

    Top Fuel dragster FTW!!!:D

    But seriously, it depends on what your wanting from it. Like SaleenGT2001 said, Kenne Bells are great for having a fun street car that will fry the tires off. Novi 2k's and Vortech T trims are a little easier to hook because the power doesn't come on as early in the rpm band.

    Im happy with my p1sc procharger but when I get a forged lower and some heads it will be the limiting factor. Either a d1sc or turbos are in my future.

    It is a nice, cheap blower. But if you want to make alot of power its not going to do it for you.

    Do you think with all bolt-ons plus this roots charger that i would be close to 357ish or 400?

    so far i like my novi 2000. power wise it seems good. i havent toughed on its potential yet. im running 14 psi now. the car is really sick at higher speeds and high rpm. im planning better bigger blower cams from MPH and turning up to about 16 psi max in the future with a aftermarket intake...not sure which.

    at that point i should be using some of what the novi is capable of

    I like my Tork Tech kit so far. Great low-rpm torque, but pulls hard all the way to redline (and even the rev limiter :notnice:). I'm sure the kit would be even more insane with a twin-screw, but that would have made it too expensive.

    the novi 2K doesnt perform well at low boost levels. mine always put down less than impressive numbers at 10-12 psi.

    once i pullied it to 20 psi it really woke up.

    what are your power goals? if you dont EVER wanna go over 500 just get an s-trim. i knew i was gonna build mine so i got a big blower

    I've had a Novi 2000 and an S-Trim. I'd rather have a single turbo than another blower car.

    My goals are to be able to continue using my stock block and trans as long as I can. I'm hoping to get over 300 and close to 400 by this time next year. So which route do you guys think I need to go?
