supercharger and tire spin

we all know what superchargers do for power and which ones do it the best for their intended use.if you have so much low end torque that the car cant hook till mid way through 2nd gear with a automatic is it doing you any good for low end use? so my question is would you buy a paxton style or kennybell style blower if you do most of your full throtle driving when you get it on at lower speeds.i have a lightning and full throtle below 35 mph just blows the tires away and i dont want this problem with my mustang.just looking for 7 or 8 ilbs of boost and 400 to 425 horsepower.im leaning towards the paxton and for price differance, it seems to give the best bang for the buck.so what do you think,centrifical or screw style?

For that amount of power I would totally go with an intercooled paxton. I heard they don't get full boost until about 3,000rpm's

I think the only difference between where you are now and having a power adder is that you will have to learn to drive the car differently. If you are making higher HP at smaller throttle openings, then you will need to modulate the throttle on your launches. Limiting your car by not installing a twin screw simply because you want to be able to floor it without having to modulate the throttle on a launch really doesn't make much sense to me. Shop for some sticky, wide rubber out back!! Just my .02

I'd rather deal with throttle modulation rather wait for a centrifugal pump to spool up ...
