If I were to Dyno my car accelerating without being in boost, would it make oem power as if supercharger wasn't installed? Just curious when we all say "it drives like a stock when not in boost", does this mean it is the stock NA engine pulling until I'm beyond about 1/4 throttle?
Boost related stupid question

I don't know but I might think less due to the parasitic loss by the blower and by the rotors in the blower. I have no clue but I'm just speculating!

No it wouldn't dyno the same. Driving like stock means that the power adder didn't effect the driveabilty of the car. So you deive around and it's drives the same as it did before the turbo/blower was installed. No bucking, surging, etc. so until you hit the pedal hard enough to build boost you wouldn't know you were driving blown car.
The engine n/a will run in a vacuum of say 16" so when the blowers not making positive numbers it is still adding extra air and vacuum may only be 5". So it should still make extra power IMO.
