Is his torque curve flatter, or does he develop peak horsepower at lower rpm's?  We had some discussions a while back about positive displacement superchargers vs. centrifugal superchargers.  The thought was that a positive displacement would improve the lower rpm torque vs. the centrifugal not developing its boost until high rpm's.  But then a turbo should have the same characteristics of not developing high boost until high rpm's, unless there is a popoff valve in there that bleeds off a lot of boost at high rpm's.
