Which would be faster

Is this a troll thread to start 100 arguments?
Btw, there are far too many factors.
Is it a 500 shot of nitrous that hits at 2500 RPM or a 200 shot that hits at 4000 RPM?
Is it a small turbo thats cracking open the wastegate at 2000 RPM?
Is it a roots blower, twin screw, or centrifugal?

Back when I had my 04 Mustang Gt I made 400 rwhp & 500 rwtq. It was a 5-speed with a 3.90 gear. Raced my buddy's 04 gt as well (5-speed and 3.73's) that made 450 rwhp with a Kenne Bell. Pretty similar cars all around, and it was basically a dead nuts race from a roll

Turbos hit their peak boost much earlier than a centrifugal setup will. Centrifugal builds boost in a linear manner in relation to RPM. A properly sized turbo can hit its peak boost right in the middle of the rev range and hold it until redline/shift point. The centrifugal has its upsides when compared to turbos, but if you're limiting its peak power to the exact same as a turbo/nitrous setup, it'll probably produce less power everywhere below the peak, even if the blower itself is capable of more power than either the turbo or nitrous setup.
