100% agree with this. Never was this description more accurate than when I was pulling data logs for Ted. In 3rd gear from 1,500rpm. Stomp it and don't let off until 6,500. Now typically under normal driving I would never floor it from 3rd gear at such a low RPM but were simulating a dyno pull basically. I grab hold of the steering wheel and HOLD ON and the way it feels is exactly as Chevy71 described. No mercy until you let off.
I can only assume the PD type superchargers would push you back hard down low and as you get higher and higher in the RPM begin to feel like it's letting up.
Question: Would the PD Type blower be harder on the pistons/rings vs Centri given that the PD is a constant 7-8psi or higher through the entire RPM Range as well as typically having higher IATs? The Centri builds boost as it rises through the RPM and quite a bit lower IAT's but my understanding is the PD is full boost immediately until you let off.
