Centri's on commodore was all the rage and it was a sight to be seen back then.... it's a shame that they are losing way somewhat to turbo's as there are good Centrifugal blowers out there like ATI PRochargers.... only they market the sh*t out of Vortech's when in reality an ATI Will out blow a equivelant vortech any day of the week..... it's proven Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
