its not a matter of better, just different. not everything in life is max HP and Peak HP. This thing will destroy centri's in certain aspects, and get hammered in others.
If this was finalized, and released 4 months ago, Id have it "

so its safe to say digs are out for you..? "

yes, but hundreds of svt and gt500 forums support it.. BUUUUUT Ford owners are not always the most critical thinking types

meth on the fins is actually good for these. i think it was KB or whipple actually suggest it "

" seems audi is using this blower as well:

also its said that the tvs 1900 draws 45hp to run it and is used out of its efficiency range.. although those claims are said to be accurate, it is said that the 1740 here is a perfect match "
