More HP or More Torque?

[magnido45]

For faster 1/4 Mile times, would you rather have an increase of 25HP or 25lb/ft torque?

Basically, the Roush Phase 1 is 575HP/505 lb-ft torque
and the Vortech is 605HP/473 lb-ft torque...

the Roush has about 25 less HP and 25lb-ft more torque, but the Vortech has about 25 more HP, but 25lb-ft less torque...

Slightly more complicated then that unfortunately, in regards to 1/4 mile times though I believe the centrifugal style superchargers are preferred as power grows with rpm differently then with a tvs blower making it easier to leave with less torque avoiding wheel spin and then having the power come in smoothly at higher rpm where you will be shifting

I don't think 25hp or 25lbs will make much difference either way. If you drive on the street primarily I would get the tvs, the instant torque on the street is a blast.

Thanks for the knowledge, guys!!!

I had no problems getting a TVS to hook even at 800rwhp levels, and with factory stock suspension. I vote the PD blower route over the vortech you have listed.

Thanks for your feedback, CoreGT!!!
