For the longest time I have been considering getting a boost controller, so I can do boost by gear and limit top end boost to not over-boost the motor. The main thing that was holding me back was having too much boost down low on a stock engine. I get that this wouldn't change the inefficiency nature of supercharging, and in fact, I would be over-spinning the supercharger on the top end, but the benefits would be hitting usable boost sooner.
