People who don't have centrifugal chargers seem to think boost lag is no big deal.
It is a big deal on a heavy truck though if you're looking for low E.T.'s.

I would love to be right in the meat of the powerband, but it is not practical for my truck. I would rather give up 4-5/10ths than give up a lot of driveability. My S10 has a 3k stall, and with a load it is very noticeable, I wouldnt want that while towing my boat. On a street driven daily driver truck everything is a compromise.
FWIW, I'm seeing about 11-12 psi at 6000rpm, and I see about 2psi at 2600rpm, and 3-4 by 3000rpm.

I'm probably gonna put a procharger on my 6.0 project. I just don't know if a Radix could feed a 6.0 with 9:1, cam, and minor headwork. Also, the off idle power of the radix would take away the fun on the street. As of now with my 5.3, I'm always spinning in 1st and grabbing second pretty hard. Just think how hard it would be to hook a radix blown 6.0 with TT3000 and 3.90 gears in a 2wd single cab!!!!!???? 
I think a procharger would probably be better for my application.
