The price point on the Torqstorm is pretty good I think for what it seems to deliver, but looking for more input as I'm not sold on any particular path at this point.

Hey guys, Im here to answer any questions you may have. Our units work great for a daily driver. One of our first silverado kits from our old kit just rolled over 30k miles since first installed. Same belt and all. Only 10k mile oil changes on the head unit. We are still finalizing the silverado kit. Should be soon after the new year. The intercooler isn't too much of an issue for most. It is fairly simple to build a mount for an intercooler and connect the points with piping and couplers.

Still sitting here wondering if a PD blower isn't a better choice for my application. No comments on that?
Thanks,

Bare with me in my explanation, I'm sure some will disagree, but this is my opinion from my experience and knowledge. A centrifugal supercharger will be more effective power for the street use. A centrifugal is more linear and builds boost through out the rpm range, where a positive displacement will build all the boost more instant and lack in top end horsepower. As well as controlling the sudden surge of power down low and maintaining traction that will plateau early in the rpm curve. So it really depends on the type of power you would like. Cooler/ denser air will make more power, that being said with a positive displacement you deal with water lines and pump, a centrifugal you would generally plumb an air/air intercooler. Either one will make great power and be very fun to drive. It really depends on your goal and use everything has a benefit/downfall.
