SOS supercharged AP1. Worth it?
@bronxbomber252 Thanks for your post regarding S2000 superchargers! The lineal boost is so obvious I never fully understood it until this morning.
Duh (on my part)!
My Ford 3.5 EcoBoost responds quicker if I can get the turbos (there are two) to spool up even a little before hammering it. The torque converter makes this easier than a mechanical clutch.
Problem with 0-60 times in the S2000 is the AP2 gearbox requires two (2) gear changes and the AP1 box has to be pushed to the rev limiter in both 1st and 2d. Great for making YouTube videos but not the best thing for the engine.

my '15 Subaru WRX on the other hand, I try not to rev all the way to its 6700RPM redline habitually and instead shift between 6000 and 6500. But that car runs out of breath above 6k anyway.
