    Boost really depends on how well your motor flows. The more air you get in and out the less boost it will show but its actually pushing more air in there. Our super charger doesn't work like a typical roots style charger.

    I thought our superchargers don't compress the air inside the housing like normal, I thought that they just force more air in which why they produce so much heat?

    it is true that we dont have blowers that compress air, but it still works exactly the same as other roots blowers. our boost is made in the LIM instead of the blower casing itself.
