Thought it would be fun to see what your opinions are on the subject. For me in the eighth mile, I think a nice stall would buy me more et than a centrifugal blower. I can't imagine making enough boost to make a difference in the first 100-150 foot with a centri without a stall, and in my opinion, the shorter the race, the more important the launch.
I'd guess my car with just the same blower and boost as I'm at now would probably struggle to do an 8.5 without a stall and was down to 8.2-8.3 with a stall before installing the blower.
The reason I bring this up is because I see alot of people show up at the track with street tires, no suspension, stock converter, crappy rear gearing, but bragging about XXX horsepower, and then being confused when someone who actually can launch decently eats them for breakfast.
