But this is a pulley driven supercharger. Everything you said doesn't apply. A HBP on the same supercharger will give you more power everywhere. It does add boost equally across the entire RPM range. Why doesn't it come like this? Because with a HBP you have to really address fueling issues with injectors, pump, and probably a flex fuel solution.
