Straight cut gear drive on a centri probably makes it pretty whiney. I freaking love whine, it's like you have a mini F1 engine.

I've owned a twin turbo rx7, an aftermarket turboed civic, a mazdaspeed 3 w an hks ssbov, and an s2000 w a tuned vortech centrifugal

My favorite sound remains the hks bov. I would rev and shift just to hear it. Only car sound i've ever experienced that I actually MISS

I chose the supercharger whine, I love that sound.

its a toss up for me. they both have qualities that make me climax. just the sound of a noticeably good performing engine is good enough for me.
