build boost with stock supercharger on the street? Someone was mentioning today that while driving a friends grand prix gtp they were trying to build boost to take off faster fromc a stop. I think it was an automatic too so I can't see how they got this idea (clutch dump from 4k would mean probably more boost than from 1k but its an automatic). How is that really plausible, isn't a supercharger directly linked to engine rpm, they can't lag. Generally speaking a supercharger has more ***** at lower rpms than turbo applications depending on the set up. I know people with turbo diesels who try and spool them up when racing each other (redneck part of Indiana), but am I right in thinking this guy is retarded? I've never driven a car as.....slow as a gtp so I don't know, but he thinks it's cool and I don't wanna hate.
