Anyone else read about this? I don't really understand the benefit of a 2 speed supercharger. The article says that the charger operates at a higher speed during low RPM's and a slower speed at high RPM's. The only benefit I can imagine for that setup(as opposed to operating at full-speed throughout the RPM range) is fuel economy at higher RPM's. But if you're supercharging your ride, most likely gas-mileage isn't your main concern. Perhaps its intended more for rides that come from the factory sc'd? What do you guys think?
