Remember, our supercharger can flow a LOT more than what it's flowing now. Same supercharger, same-ish supercharger RPM, same-ish boost, different (better flowing) engine. We just need to get the engine to flow as well, and the power will come. It'll be linear, sustainable, and very controllable with instantaneous response.
Sounds like a challenge. Wish I still had my car so I could accept it. Perhaps I will get to run some laps in James or David's car one day. I can't wait to hear why it couldn't sustain that power over the course of a single lap like most time attack guys do. The only thing linear in that dyno plot is the torque and boost plot, definitely not the horsepower curve.
