It's not like a turbo, where things have to wind up. The supercharger's directly connected to the engine and always ready to go. Any lag's probably the throttle and/or transmission, i think...

what kinda of valves are there for the supercharger? I think someone said there was a by pass valve, not a blow off valve? Is there anything that you can put on a supercharger to make that "woosh" sound?

why? i think youve been hanging around at the honda forum for way to long. 
. I dont think there is supercharger lag it dosent lag because it uses the engine to spin it. a turbo lags becasue it uses exhaust to spin it, the more the RPM the faster turbo spins.

S/C's inherently don't have any lag at all unless poor piping or intercooler design leads to a spring effect on the boost because of too much piping or too large of an intercooler.

Robert...you're wrong! A supercharger is belt driven off the crank and therefor matches the RPM of the engine.
I'll let the engineers spell it out to you in more technical terms.

It depends on how you define "lag". If someone sees the time taken for the air to enter the intake, exit the supercharger, and go into the combustion chamber as a lag, nothing in the world can eliminate it.

I promised myself I wouldn't spend any money on that movie. I would just have a rice overload. I'd rather have rice as part of my dinner thank you very much.
