Yes Sir... to both replies!!

Look at some of the top drag cars, plenty are using pro-chargers. Look at a few of the mods on this board that have prochargers and are running 10s/9s. If your going for a max effort all out build and want to hit low single digit times then a large single turbo is the way to go but the ds1c has put people into the 9's and f1r's, f2r's, etc have put others even lower into the single digits.

Overall, still great kits to get some really good numbers for the goat.

Keep in mind power is useless unless you can hook it. Keep that in mind when you're talking about what works best for each setup. I'm always going to be on 19" street tires with an automatic transmission, so me being able to feed any useable power through that setup and get any real feel of acceleration I have to pay attention to how that power needs to be delivered. Sure, a TT or Heads/Cam/Nitrous setup would put down insane power and torque but 1st and 2nd gear would be 100% useless from any speed. For me a Procharger is more ideal because down lower it's not building as much boost (or as much power or torque) but it gradually feeds the power in as the RPMs (and speed) climb, making it easier to hook the power and actually feel the acceleration. For me its not about track times or how much power/torque I put down on the dyno, its about feeling the pull when I want to feel the pull, and not just roasting the tires into oblivion. Prochargers definitely have their place in the market.
If I had a 6-speed car where I could gradually feed the power in a little better I'd be all over a TT or H/C/N20 setup but with the automatic when I hammer on it all I can do is hold on because there is no feeding the power in with part throttle gradually.
