Default Make boost earlier?
Right now my car is getting into the meat of the boost at 3500rpm. How can I bring that down so it is making boost earlier?

I ve always wanted to say this......if your blower car has to much lag then its time to go turbo.

This is about your only option, there are a couple really good threads on here regarding wastegates on supercharger cars.

or, as stated, time to go turbo! FTW!

raise the compression of the motor, should give you some more meat at the lower end. just make sure you run proper fuel

Since you have a forged engine, and assuming you have enough fuel, I'd put a smaller pulley on it to spin the blower faster. You'll make more boost overall and the boost will come in sooner. Bob

The only way to increase boost at the bottom is to pulley the blower down so it spins up faster. If you don't want more boost up top you can play with restrictor plates to limit the max air flow.

No it won't, his isn't a turbo car. The fuel won't change the air pushed by the supercharger. Also I'd wager most of your added response was from the removal of the intercooler.
