Maybe in a mail truck it would work. Provided the FE savings can offset the initial cost to the Canada Post fleet. This is great tech. When you get 200 HP out of a 1L petrol engine I will invest.
Look at a Tuned N/A Bore/stroked Hyabusa. They average around 320HP.
This is high rpm tuning that you can only get with tiny motor design. Yes, it lacks robustness reliability of a street car engine. But point and case, we are all trying to fill the area under the torque curve.
Gains are to be had in the high rpm. Your supercharger WILL only ever flow at pressure in the low RPM range, where your diminished returns are hidden.

We have proven that this does work on a street car....nobody has said that this is a suitable option for a track car.
Im willing to bet that 99.9 percent of FRS will not see a airstrip :P lol.
This is to have fun, get good tq and decent power for a minimal investment in both money and time. Most FRS owners will also love the simplicity to return to stock for dealer visits, i personally have done 2 already
I call it dealer mode haha
