the ability to flash comes from torque generated is my understanding, my biggest issue with the auto, was that you give up rolling acceleration for launch ability.

what i am getting at is, lets say you have the supercharger on there, when you try to accelerate from a roll, the torque you are generating down low is gonna be useless cause it will just flash up to the stall speed anyways.

just a thought, could be right, could be wrong but i just thought of that and thought i would share

Ben

true.

but you would reach your stall faster because the supercharger would raise the rpms faster than a giant sized turbo. hence, if your stall was at 4K rpms, you would reach that number faster with your supercharger than with your t3/t4 turbo.

as an example, i would reach my stall faster with the stock turbo when brake torqueing. i'd simply step on the pedal and i'd hit 4K rpms in a blink of an eye. but with my t3/t4, it takes a few seconds for the rpms to climb. most of the time, the tree has fallen and i launch below my stall speed.
