That makes for a nice 500whp 93 octane pump gas setup that isn't overly aggressive. The key there is "not overly aggressive". Unless you plan on running race gas all the time, you don't want to run too much boost.
See, with a TT kit, you can adjust boost pretty much on the fly with a boost controller. So, that allows you to fill up with high octane fuel, crank up the boost and make more power (with an appropriate tune).
On a supercharger, you would have to swap pulleys when you change from one octane to another and switch your map. It's doable, but not everyone wants to crawl under their car every time they switch back and forth between pump gas and race gas.
The idea here, is to offer a supercharger that makes good power and like our Twin Turbo kit, has more in it.

That all makes sense, but I am looking at the 400 WTQ dyno and noticing that you are making less HP than a several other STG 2 SCs, though you are making substantially more WTQ. That's what is confusing me. Because the SC is basically linear with boost through the RPM range, I don't get how you are making so much more torque and not a ton more horsepower. Were you make 400 torque and 550+ whp, then it would seem to track your other results more closely.
