Where as the big balloon take sup alot of space, and reaching 4 PSI will take alot more air.

I honestly dont think you know what PSI is, or understand the physics of air volume/air pressure/ and air mass.
ok your analogy doesnt really explain much for me either. im talking the same size engine here, 2 different sized superchargers one engine. now the way i read your analogy is that the engine would be the balloon, and filling a smaller balloon (engine) to 4 psi takes less air than filling a big balloon (engine) to 4psi. yes that obviously makes sense. thats not what im talking about though. if thats not the analogy you were trying to make then i have no clue what you are trying to say. i guess you could be saying that the balloons are superchargers? but then youd be pointing out that it takes more air to fill a bigger supercharger to 4psi, but why would you fill a supercharger to 4psi? i appreciate all the replys, i just wish someone had a logical explination that i could understand.
