It would be effective for ¼ mile drags with adequate recharge and cool down between runs, but not so much for track or daily driving.

After watching videos, it seems the ESC acts too similar to the how turbo boost works. Not ideal for constant power and daily driving. I will continue to wait on more news from HKS and Evasive Motorsports on the new HKS V2 Supercharger kit.
