Default Re: Supercharger does, sometimes, not kick in

Thanks for all the help and information.

Glad you got your issue sorted. I'll take a stab at answering your above question here. Once your SC kicks in typically around approx.1300-1500 rpm(depends on load*), it remains engaged until you slow down to nearly stopped(approx.5mph), or shift to neutral. When you step down on the pedal at 70km/hr as you say, the intensity you're experiencing is not the SC kicking in(because it's already engaged), but is your engine getting into the powerband(probably 3rd gear)and is the power/torque that we all enjoy. When you have a well modified SRT6, the power comes on like a freight train in 3rd gear. Forum member "Woody" has a video and explanation of the SC engagement here on the forum if you want to search for it.
* Can be as high as 2900 rpm, but that is a whole other discussion.
