What they do have is really fast spooling rates...which (if mapped right) would give you 100% pressure at take off.

The Phantom system uses the stock alternator which is rated at 130 Amps. More than enough to recharge the batteries quickly.
The batteries are separated into 2 discreet systems.
1.Compact starter battery for the vehicle and it's systems (Odyseey PC680) 12v.
2. 2x Big Crank EXT16 12v batteries ran in series to get above 24volts (this powers the compressor).
The compressor can give 100% boost at ~0 RPM but it's actually spooled up more slowly for driveability (otherwise the rear end would instantly break loose). Max torque is made available at 3376 engine RPM.
