hhhmmm are you sure? twins especially the APS and PE have a faster spooling time and usually hit their full boost at lower rpm (2800rpm-3400rpm) Most Single Turbo dyno that I have seen especially TN usually hit full boost 3500rpm-4200rpm. Just look at the TQ curve of a TT and ST and you'll see that TT always hit its peak TQ sooner than ST.

That is the key word FEEL!! either way we are not talking about a Vortech that gradually build boost until redline.

couldn't have said it better what? that your Butt dyno is lying to you that ST is faster in the low/mid range? Show me a ST dyno that has more power in the low/mid range than a TT. Show me a ST that can hit Full Boost at 2900rpm at 8psi.

Everyone has different goals for their setups so there really is no clear answer for what is "better." What might be the best setup for one guy might not be the best setup for someone else. Being in Cali (Los Angeles) with all the strict emissions laws that we have here, I chose to go with a Vortech because it comes with the CARB exemption # on the SC. That was the best option for me. Plus it's my daily driver so I didn't really want to go too crazy. I just wanted some nice extra power for when I go to the track. If I wasn't in Cali and the G wasn't my daily driver, I would definitely go TT and build the shiet out of the car. So the correct answer to the OP's question is going to be different for everyone.

So are you going down to Zdayz Airport Runway on May? I'm not worthy to battle with those guys so I'll meet you up on the Freeway on your way down. I think one of the rule for ZDAY is no Trailer Queen so you are going to have to drive down there
Also I want to see some logs after the race to make sure you are on your LOW Boost!!! lol
