Like turbo's, it all depends on engine spec. There are plenty of high boost charger conversions out there

I get these random questions to ask all the time n have to post on here when my dad is sick of me nagging lol.
The rotrex chargers Jamsport use are centrifugal superchargers which increases airflow (and boost) as the revs rise whereas turbo's hit there max boost as soon as they can. I suggest you read Stu's technical articles which may (?) have sections on chargers
