Unless your quarter mile racing I think it's asinine to use centrifugal supercharger. Not only do you have parasitic loss, but you don't get that boot in the ass you get from a positive displacement. It's like centrifugal superchargers take the worst of superchargers and the worst of turbochargers and make one unit and for some reason it's good for quarter mile racing LOL. But if I'm going to have a parasitic loss from a supercharger, it better give me instantaneous torque! Otherwise, twin turbos baby. Always going to be more power, as there is no belt drive. Positive displacement superchargers even though they are parasitic, they give you that instant torque hit even faster than twin turbos. That's why everybody says they are fun. You push the gopedal, and your ass just starts wiggling

In Australia the LSA & LS9 came in a HSV (Holden special vehicles) GTS & GTSR-W1 which are 4 door, rear wheel drive sedans based on the Commodore. I have a Commodore with an LSA swap, it’s a fun car.

All VF11 come with an LSA except N/A ClubSport has LS3 ,to be honest HSV dropped the price by 5k to be more price competitive with the SSV Redline only 4k more if it was my $$$ I'd would have dropped the extra 4k, you do have SS fans though but so much value for that ClubSport and considering most SS buyers bolt on HSV/Walkingshaw "ClubSport bits and spend way more than 4k on basic upgrades and yet the ClubSport is MORE!

You forgot the supercharged LT4 and LT5. LSA is also used in the Holden Maloo and the Holden HSV. The LSA engine was originally designed primarily for marine applications: it's a boat motor and also available from General Motors as a crate engine for projects. What's confusing is that the Chevrolet Performance videos say that the LSA is not intended for marine applications.

Not sure your statement on superchargers is entirely correct. Positive displacement superchargers have a very different response to that generally offered by a centrifugal superchargers. This can be both good & bad but it depends on what you want to use it for. Peak numbers aren't always the entire story.

The LSA was used in 5 different General Motors models: the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, the Cadillac CTS-V, the Holden Special Vehicles ClubSport R8 LSA, the Holden Special Vehicles Maloo R8 LSA, and the Holden Commodore GTS. The LS9 was used in 3 different models: the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, the Holden Special Vehicles Commodore GTS-R W1, and the Holden Special Vehicles GTS-R W1 Maloo. (You’d be forgiven for forgetting about the HSV GTS-R W1 Maloo because they only made 4 of them, one recently auctioned off for $550,000) but the others are inexcusable.
