Yeah good point. And I have no doubt that either car will put a huge smile on my face. I'm just curious as to which would be quicker in say a 40-140 race? Traction and gearing being the same I'm thinking the TVS may be a bit quicker?

Don't get caught up peak numbers. It's a fools errand. All too often you will see big Paxton cars making 100rw more than a TVS car and it still loses.

It's all about the right set up, getting the power down and the right race for your set up vs the other guy.

Right, I understand that. That's why I've been leaning towards the TVS. Like mentioned earlier, throw on a good tire, converter, and go to the track and the Paxton is a beast. But that's not what I'm going for. Also, to be clear, I'm not buying any of these kits, I'm looking at cars with the supercharger already on them. Not that it makes a difference in this discussion, just pointing it out.
