Re: Vapor online

Back in 2004 a Ford Tech told me that the Super Charger on the 2003 / 2004 Cobra had 9 Pounds of Boost and would not leak down after shutting the Car off.

Re: Vapor online

While the supercharger is always spinning and moving air, it is not always producing boost in the engine. Boost is a function of engine load and RPM. The majority of the time your supercharger will not be producing boost. The supercharger produces boost under high load conditions which may include heavy acceleration, going uphill, passing another vehicle or under towing conditions. The remainder of the time the engine is working just like a normally aspirated engine.
