Your purpose needs to be stated as well. Is this going to be a drag car for the track, a street monster or a little of each? I chose the Vortech YSi and have no regrets. I love turbo cars, but when making the kind of power I make, I find the boost is not useable down low and the progressive boost increases created by the centrifugals makes traction more manageable. There are devices out there to help with building boost progressively, but they complicate things as well as add to the expense. Bang for the buck between the two, I don't think a well designed centrifugal system can be beat. Just in case someone brings up the belt aspect of it, I feel the need to mention that once I laser aligned my 8-rib pulley system, I haven't had one issue. See sig for #'s
