Default horsepower

400 rwhp supercharged is pretty much the limit for reliability. Intercooled or not, doesnt really matter at moderate boost levels like 8 - 10 lbs that much as long as you get a dyno tune. The extra 1k for an intercooler isnt worth it for 20 more hp in my book. Now, if your going with 12+ lbs boost, without an intercooler you wont be doing much.

Kenne Bell is a awesome supercharger, mdvaldosta pretty much sums it all up. Stay 400RWHP or under on stock internals.
