What is a supercharger kit? A supercharger kit is a combination of supercharger parts (kit), that are fitted to an internal combustion engine. By doing so, this increases the horsepower of the engine. Typically, an increase in horsepower and performance by as much as 30 to 70+% can be seen. The engines performance is instantly increased, once the engine is suitably tuned. As a result, fuel economy and engine efficiency can be increased too.
Supercharger Throttle Response
The best way to look at it is, a supercharger is basically a large air pump. If the goal is to increase the horsepower of an internal combustion engine, then that engine needs more air. When we increase the air flow or the volume of air, into the engine, this allows for more fuel to be added.
With more air and fuel entering the combustion chamber/cylinder area, when the piston compresses the larger volume of air/fuel mix, and when the spark plug ignites that mix, a much larger explosion occurs. The larger explosion increases the pressure on top of the piston, with at least 30% more force than without the supercharger. Pushing the piston back down the cylinder with greater force. In a nut shell, this is how more horsepower is made with a supercharger.
The throttle responsiveness from a supercharger is instant. Meaning there is no lag or delay before engine boost is made. This is because the supercharger is mechanically driven.

Did you say that twin screw superchargers have better versatility and compactness? Well, this is certainly an interesting revelation, especially since my brother-in-law is searching for a way to upgrade the performance of his 4×4 vehicle. I’m gonna share this information with him in order to make sure he orders the right component afterwards.
That’s great! Happy to help.
