2. No. I don't even know myself. It is not complete yet, and our driver is quality & function.

Is that a good thing? :D j/k
When I said "given an appropriate intake manifold and tuning"... That is a pretty open statement I guess.
My European distributor is really keen on getting one for his auto though. There seems to be a bit of interest, so lets see how it goes. Dont forget we need to first get the thing running!

Silly question.. Is it possible to start out with like 20 psi and gradually drop the boost up til redline?
High boost at lower rpms needs less fuel and generate less heat than the same boost at higher rpm. Hence you could get some insane lowend gains without compromising the engine at higher rpms..
(my understanding is that a twin-screw sc is able to produce a lot of boost at low rpm)

IF its possible to somehow gear it to do that, I would think you would get really massive wheelspin off the line. You're probably already going to get some of that with it using a conventional flat boost curve.

there are always going be faster cars, regardless. Its an improvement nonetheless from the car's stock numbers. If you want a fast ride man... just get urself a sport bike.
