Here is my dilemma, I have a cogged belt Procharger F1R supercharger for a 351 engine.
I also have a World 427 that I built for boost.
I know a remote turbo setup would be better, than the supercharger in many ways. Like say a remote turbo setup would put the weight in the rear vs hanging it on the front like a supercharger, less loading of the front crankshaft, less hp to use, no double key needed in the crankshaft.
But, the pro's for the supercharger would be that I get to keep my existing/new exhaust, no $$$ return oil pump [vs remote turbo], and bolt on vs all of that plumbing for a turbo setup, not to mention cost savings on wastegates.
So have any of you used a centrifugal supercharger on a road race track?
How well did it do, and what were the drawbacks?

For the record I would just build a turbo setup, but from my research just about every used F1R supercharger kit out there is selling for peanuts, and I can't afford to give it away.
