Centrifugal Superchargers have come a long way from the old days, like in 1998, when the Keens could run mid 7s with a legal weight 3000 race weight and a Powerglide trans.
They did not seem to have any issues with beating out Billy Glidden for the Championship that year and Billy is a better racer than 99% of the racers out there. They were running a basic Vortech XX supercharger which is really old technoligy vs the new stuff from Vortech. Course they were racing for a National Championship vs a "Brand" Race. 1998, 2008, 2018 WOW that was 20+ years ago they were running in the 7s with a crummy centrifugal supercharger.

The new stuff with Billet Wheels and optimized compressor housings is a bunch better.
