All a supercharger does is force air into the engine quicker, its not a case of how much is is going in, just how fast its going in

What I was trying to get at was that the Merlin was getting more air because of the two speed two stage supercharger. Give the Allison a two speed two stage supercharger and the performance gap changes radically!

Its not about the engine its self its about getting it air.
