Dave,
it's suddenly like a caged beast trying to rip your motor mounts in half, and you will immediately see nearly full boost.
I like the sounds of this! I call shotgun!

Dave,

But give it enough throttle to completely close the bypass valve and you better be pointing straight, because it's suddenly like a caged beast trying to rip your motor mounts in half, and you will immediately see nearly full boost.
I don't know what you are talking about. Must be an AOD thing. lol
Might be, because that's how mine drove with 1.7 AR and it does the same thing with the 2.3 Whipple.

It matters to me quit a bit actually David. However my primary concern was to have the car running like it is now before I make any adjustments. I have a few things that need tweeked on the car now but I am really impressed at how well it runs in general at startup which is where I had all my nightmares before. I have yet to get it out and drive it to datalog it because I have a minor coolant leak to fix and a few other things I need to get squared away but it is all coming together very smooth for onceIn you guy's cases it has a lot more to do with your camshaft selection than the supercharger. They just don't really make any power without quite a bit of boost because that's what they are designed for. Another difference is just plain and simple perceptions. With your M90 experience the car was poochy too, but adding more boost/throttle didn't help so the whole thing was lackluster instead of just the low boost area.
In Jason's case, he didn't have an M90 on a heads/cam setup that was made for boost. His Morana stuff was ground on a 110 LSA which is all NA stuff and works fine up to a point where it just simply quits working.
There are some differences in power production and boost levels when talking about a bigger supercharger in general. A large supercharger isn't going to be as efficient on a small motor when it's not being spun very fast and is being choked with a partly open throttle blade. The TVS feels a lot the same way.
What I'm saying is that if you select components to make maximum HP, you are going to give up other areas. If you wanted better mid boost performance, a few simple changes in component selection would make all the difference, and of course you'd give up some other things in the process. It's always a compromise.
Dave Clark's setup would be better with a little less OD, but I'm sure it won't really matter to him.

Now I just have to figure out how to get it tuned lol.
SMOOTH!!! That is not something that I have not experienced lately with my cars or life so congrats!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful job!!
Looks awesome Dave. Can't wait to see what it does on the dyno. Any plans for that yet?
