a vf39 at highway speeds will boost if you so much as sneeze on the pedal. around town if u keep it below 3000rpm maybe its not too bad . get out on the highway and try it . much harder.
True, on the highway it will start to come on at about 2800 if I give it gas.

Nice build though, on the version with the s/c mounted directly over the engine, is there an air water intercooler in use there? Is the air routed out of the s/c but not directly into the engine?
