So if I post this picture of a typical m54 torque curve:
Where would you suggest the supercharger should start making boost?
Between 2,5k revs and 5.5k revs there is only 20ft/lbs variation in torque....
So only boost above 5.5k revs? what's the point in that?
Or lets start boost at 6k, because then we can make 40ft/lbs more torque...
Your advice has theoretical logic but no practical value.
I think most people will prefer a wider torque range. Prefer 40ft/lbs of overall less torque but all over the rev range instead of a boost at 6k revs to the revlimiter at 6.5k
In fact I even think that the m54 even can hold 40ft/lbs of extra torque on 3.5k revs than over the maximum torque value (before things start to break down) at 6k revs if you understand what I mean here...
