If it is a positive displacement SC such as a Roots or Whipple it will have instant torque at low rpm. If it is a centrifugal it will act more like a turbo. Basically a centrifugal is just a belt driven turbo of sorts. That's why I ask if it is a centrifugal on the Ford.

It is a roots blower

In that case it should have more and instant low end grunt unless it is computer controlled to limit that.
"There can be no divided allegiance here.  Any man who says he is an American,
but something else also, isn't an American at all.  We have room for but one
flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is
the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a
loyalty to the American people."
Theodore Roosevelt 1907
