This is probably the single most important part. If your vehicle is tuned for 18psi max, the KBoost can control everything up to that boost level. The magic is in HOW the power is delivered. The KBoost simply controls how aggressively the power comes in when you get in the throttle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDesigned for Usable Power\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-horsepower supercharged vehicles often make more torque than the available traction can support.

That's right, whether you're trying to get down a poorly prepped track, or just need the boost to ramp in once you've shifted into second-gear, we can do that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNot just power management, but safety as well!\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've got a restomod with a monster LT4, or Hellcat engine in it.... it can become undrivable. It's cool to have 800+HP but if you can't even stand on the throttle without ending up in a ditch then what's the point?! KBoost allows for better drivability, and smoother application of power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat if you want your wife to drive it?
