Honestly this has been beat to death 1000 times. All forms of FI are good and what is "better" for one user might be different for another.

People depend on word of mouth to sell products and make a living. 1 bad word, truth or NOT, can kill business. If you are going to make claims you better show supporting evidence. I did the search as you requested and didn't find ONE SIONGLE COMPLAINT.
I agree. Look also at recent thread on guy w/. used Whipple havin a leak. May be other problems, I didn't read what else.

Yes, almost. Maybe you're the tired one. I'm tired only cause I figured I'd read & see how many of your 23K posts were actually helpful vs how many were just blantant post-whoring.

MR. Fat fingers. I see spellcheck still doesn't work on the new laptop.

Of the top of my head in the 6 years Ive been on this website every radix 112 problem Ive read about has been operator error in one way or the other. Whether it be tuning, motor or install problems, the actual headunit itself hasnt had any problems. Some people have complained about the 112s lack of big bling number making ability but look at the average power put out by them and the track numbers and you will see they arent lagging behind like your posts would lead people to believe. Now that the TVS line is out, its a whole 'nother ball game. They may still not have the huge power making capability(800+rwhp) that a turbo setup does but they far and away have the supercharger line up beat. IMO centrifugals dont even count due to the large stall converter they need in order to function well.

Just as a point of reference, the TVS 2300's are capable of making a good amount of HP on not a whole lot of boost. Helps to have good heads, good intake, blower cam, and a free flowing exhaust. The 2300 on my LS3 helps crank out 670+ rwhp on only 8.5psi. On the Camaro5 forum, TVS blown LS3's are routinely either side of 600rwhp on the manual tranny cars.

Problem is most the net says twin screw hands down.Not when you restrict the in take to less than half the size it should be.I can tell you when the inlet is restricted on any blower they heat up the air faster than the iat sensor can responed plus not making the boost desired.

There is a TVS in the 800 rwhp, and a few in the 700+ rwhp as well, 122's have hit 600+ rwhp, and plenty of 112's in the 500+rwhp range.

Dynojet, Dynapac, Mustang whatever, they are there!
