Superchargers in general have a linear curve so if you hit 500wtq it’s at the very top near redline, your motor is spinning at a high RPM so it’ll wear the motor out less quickly. On the flip side, twin turbo setups make torque very low in the RPM band which puts a lot of turning/twisting force on those con rods which is how you end up having a bad day if you just “tune for max HP”, disregard the fact you’re making 550+ tq, and give ‘er a full send or 2, hope you got $$$ for a built block. Then again, the torque pulling you like a freight train down low is what people love. It’s all what you want to do.

Still need to see a dyno or driving video of the TG C39-110 kit.... I need to hear some S/C soundsssss
But the Fast Intentions Twin Turbo guys have been running over 550wtq for years - some at 580wtq.
