While this is true it's still a centrifugal supercharger and torque is still fairly peaky like a turbocharger setup. Now compare that to a roots like my setup it makes 200 lb/ft of torque from 3k and carries it all the way out to 8k RPMS.
I still do not feel that this is better than a turbocharger setup for many reason. Main reason for this is belt slip which is always an issue. It may be better with the Kraftwerks since they run a serpentine belt instead of a cog v-belt but I would still see that to be an issue at high boost.
Also you have no choice in the matter for running a/c and power steering with this kit
For a strict road race car that needs a fatter lower power band I think this is the best option but for 95% of the population turbo is far cheaper/efficient/better-bang-for-the buck option. Just my .02
