Yes. You don't see this mentioned much, if at all. Ill add that it's probably the TQ that needs to stay in check. Especially low end TQ. This is what makes the centrifugal SC nice. TQ only increases as revs increase, and even at ~600 WHP, are typically only making in the range of 425 WTQ at redline. But to your point, 425 from a SC is not as safe as 425 from a turbo as the engine is working harder to get you that amount of TQ in the SC engine.

I went with Topgunz, he's the most active and responsive of all the kit makers.

As a side note, I just sent off my Motordyne headers to Swaintech for their Whitelightning ceramic coating.
