A major advantage of this method of forced induction is that it will make significantly more torque at lower engine speeds vs. other methods of supercharging (boost by RPM) or turbocharging (boost by engine load). This translates in to being able to utilize a higher gear ratio/lower engine speed while cursing thus, being able to maintain excellent fuel economy (similar to stock if driven conservatively) while still offering superb roll on power delivery when needed. Do not expect excellent fuel economy while exploring the latter, as it will be quite addicting.
