Let's talk centrifugal superchargers.

If you have never driven a Rotrex Supercharged car, you don't know what you're missing. I have a 99 Miata (4 years)with a Rotrex C30-74 @ 8psi inter-cooled (120RWHP to 220RWHP). Most people who have driven or driven with me, do not know it has a supercharger. I am more likely to hear " I didn't know Miata's were this fast.

It feels more like a bump in displacement, it's just faster, pulls a little harder. Slightly higher exhaust note.

If you look at the dynos, you see very similar curves, just moved up the graph. Very easy to control on the track and street. This is exactly what I want for my 86.

A proper factory turbo (spools at 2500, holds boost to fuel cut) with a drive train to match would be a great option

hey, thanks for sharing your non - agreeing opinion like a regular person. im sure that i could love turbos too, its hard for me to get over the spooling but i'm sure like you said its something you can learn to control.

i've driven an old f-150 lightning with a screw type supercharger and that thing was an animal, but thats a sc sitting on top of an 8 cyl engine. i've typically heard good things about the centrifugal style ones as well, but there was a commenter on here who didn't really love his jrsc setup on the brz.
