I think what he was trying to say is that a positive displacement blower dramatically changes the characteristics of the S65 powerband.

Now compare that to the powerband of a stock S65 vs a blown S65 produced by the current centrifugal offering (see my dyno attached) which simply provides an enhancement of the S65's existing powerband.
