so even if you were cruising down the hwy at 65+ mph and in 4cyl mode and went to pass someone the afm/dod would turn off instantly as soon as you pushed down on the gas pedal you would be running on all 8 cylinders and your boost would come on like normal


and whatever company comes out with a supercharger will probly be including a ecm tuner or you will be sending your ecm to them to be flashed for the supercharger anyways

See I understand your logic put the problem I see is this...

with a roots style blower your boosted no matter what. The amount of boost is directly porportional to the engine RPM's hince the term "blower" lets say I gun it untill I hit 70 mph and then cruse, once Im crusing afm kicks in and 4 cylinders close Im still forcing in a volume of air porportional to my RPM's thats designed to be split between 8 cylinders, but now I have 4 so I just doubled the volume of air being sent to these 4 cylinders. Isnt there is the potential to do this to your block
