i have one tire roasting power you mght want to go with 410s,i had some belt issues but that was mostly rienhart related. but no problems since i had the right size belt put on i also went to a 3000 stall t/c. i like that it has a self contained fluid,no taping the oil pan..

The blower is solid and makes really good power. I'm at 453 WHP on just 8 psi of boost. As I see it:

Positives:
1) Relatively inexpensive
2) Easy to install
3) Makes good power up top

Negatives:
1) Have to remove the blower to change a belt
2) Not as strong down low as a roots blower

That said, I have absolutely no regrets. With 4.10 gears and a 3500 stall convertor the Vortech V3 absolutely rockets my car off the line. Tons of power. Traction is always my limiting factor.

Those are the biggest issues with most of the centri's.

But still glad i have my Procharger.
