lol. yes, that's how supercharged (belt driven and turbocharged) cars work. At idle the throttle plate is mostly closed, and the engine is pulling vacuum.

According to my calcs, based on rough 10:1 CR for the Z06 motor, max boost should be about 8psi. I suspect the boost is computer-managed to maximize the flatness of the torque curve at lower RPMS. But yes, most of the time on the street, the blower is along for the ride.
