Ralph, sorry you took it that way - I don't see myself taking anything away from what you've done, merely taking up for the gear-driven superchargers, which I think is completely fair!!
You've done well! Not many Powerdyned trucks in the 12s so you get props for that. You and Marcus both have really squeezed that blower to its limit. I know of no one in all of Lightning-dom running faster than the two of you are with the Powerdyne no matter what mods they have (and only a couple of other people who are as fast).
So, be proud of what you've done, but keep things in perspective. Really, everything said and done, you've got a lot to be excited about! But knocking the gear-driven centrifugals wasn't the thing to do. They simply squeeze more sauce than the Powerdyne.
Hey, ask Joe Cloutier which supercharger I recommend when all-out performance isn't the main goal! Again, I wasn't beating up the Powerdyne and I certainly wasn't smacking your results...
