When Ive watched youtube vids, the blown cars are all custom and use 'availible' blowers rather than matched ones.
Theres a very good comparison of a blown MX5 (is it a Miata i America terms?), vs a Turbo'd one. Both fairly back street garage jobs. They put both on the dyno, and carried out driving tests on both. The turbo was set so the peak boost was the same as the supercharged car. The pressure of the supercharged car was certainly not constant. It was a curve.
The dyno results for the turbo car pissed all over the blown one. But this was reversed in the driving tests except for the drag race. The blown cars power being so much more usable.
All very interesting stuff.
