The loss of bottom end power is significant also, Woody
different superchargers make power at different rpms, centrafugals have a small light weight impeller compared to the AMG blower that has alot of mass which also causes belt slip at higher psi.. centrafugal doesn't have the surface area and spool speed at low engine rpm to move volumes of air, so output is a bit weak in the low rpms.

the SC m113 the guy had built is probably still not tuned as well as the srt6, which in another project, I've been asking around to see if it's possible to use the srt6 ecu in our 6 speed cars. still waiting for LantanaTx to complete the 4.3 v8 swap.
