Supercharged horsepower and torque data shown is a calculated estimate based on percentage increases from actual rear wheel hp/tq measurements.

It seems most people I've read get about 400RWHP anyhow with that kit.

Out kit makes more power than the Vortech kit does. We make 430 rwhp with that kit. Vortech advertises it as being a 400 hp kit. Some cars have made below that number but they are all consistent around that number. Same goes for Paxton. Our kit makes 480 rwhp and their kit only makes 400. They make little power so that they can retain Fords factory warranty.
