Having the max potential for less power at any rpm is never a positive. This is by no means a positive.
Plenty of ways to limit and turn down power if so desired, this can be done by how it’s setup, how it’s tuned, or how much throttle you give.
Turbos make less crank power at same whp vs supercharger. IE 300whp is roughly 345 crank on turbo vs 365 crank on supercharger from parasitic draw. Supercharger always add extra strain to the engine at any rpm/boost as it’s always spinning even if the boost is being bled or blowet ain’t spinning fast.
High torque, high load, low rpm snaps rods, so do any of the numerous things to turn down or limit boost down low, or on a PD blower if you want less torque use less throttle or detune it.
Centrifugals are great for tracking as they are fairly efficient, have decent heat management, and make good power at high rpm. For a daily a PD is better would you rather daily an NA flat 4 or an NA v6? PD blower turns the engine into an NA v6. Effortlessly get up to speed or pass people without downshifting and reving out. Have great power off the line and still make power top end.
A turbo can do any and all of that better if setup properly. The options for what can be done are limitless. Might be a little more difficult and expensive to do right and setup at first. But in the end will be better in just about every way. For a DD it isn’t unreasonably priced to setup, for tracking it does cost substantially more.
So for low budget track car centrifugal all day. For a DD if you can setup a turbo yourself properly or have the funds then turbo, if you aren’t up to the task a PD blower is the next best DD option.
In the end it comes down to budget, car use, and mechanical aptitude (what can/can’t you do on your own)
