Default Centrifugal vs. Radix

For those of you debating on what supercharger type to go with, here's some good info.

On one of the lightning boards theres a guy (goes by RDY2RAC) who replaced his stock Eaton supercharger with a paxton NOVI-2000 centrifugal on his lightning. He runs an 11.8 at 115 with 20psi and a 4000 stall.

Stock Eaton lightnings at 14psi run 11.8 at 113 on a stock or small(2500) stall.

BUT..The eaton is pretty much done at these numbers, and he still has room to grow with the NOVI.

I just thought that was good info and will maybe show people what it's gonna take to run good ET's with a centrifugal. Big boost, big stall.

This is the centrifugal post.

I got the eaton times from the NLOC fastest truck list.

what head unit do you have if its a d1? would you be willing to trade your blower/stall combo.... for a used radix kit? i figure you dont want your stall for the radix right? id be more than glad to take that setup off your hands!

I wish that the Radix had been available when I was shopping for a charger. I've finally got this combo working pretty good now though.
