Thats not true really, its just a lot of people that build FI cars do it because they can have a nice driver with all the accessories (heavy) and they arent necessarily drag cars. If you build a blower car with drag racing in mind there isnt much difference really in power delivery between a centrifugal blower and a big N/A engine ET-wise. I've had both..
I ran 8.90s with a 347 and smallish F1A (9.17 @ 150 with a D1SC) with a 3300lb car that was built for drag racing. But it still had power steering/brakes and drove around like a stock car with a small cam. No big compression or giant cams or theft recovery, but while 3300lbs is a flyweight compared to a lot of the typical blower cars around its a heavyweight in the N/A drag car world..
