I too was anti-centrifugal SC for the last 20 years when we focused on nothing but 20+psi turbo engines. This application got me to change my mind and match compressor type to the kind of car and how it is driven. In the case of our twins, I'd say that a well tuned centrifugal SC makes more for a more fun, more controller driver's car than a equally powered turbo. I've been defending turbos for decades but have now realized that there truly are different strokes for different applications. It all depends on what you are going for. Turbos do things very well. But some things very poorly. The centrifugal SC doesn't do anything poorly and many things really well. In a small lightweight RWD car that steers with the throttle as effectively as the steering wheel, having predictable/progressive torque output that can be easily modulated by the throttle is key for drivers. For drag racers, maybe not so much.

Then again, this thread isn't a turbo vs SC thread.
