powerdyne... it wont make much HP for very long... You would be wise to take that supercharger off and sell it. Powerdyne's have a tendency to "grenade". Which simply means, it will blow up, and send lots of little metal bits intot he intake, and into the motor... thereby ruining your engine
but 6psi... on a stock as a rock motor... 250-260hp

RE: 5.0 hp
I'd listen to the man...he speaks the truth
That being said, the choice is up to you. If it were me though, well...we'll leave it at I wouldn't have gone Powerdyne. Another vote for 250-260, maybe 270, at the wheels. There's nothing else done? Not even a bigger MAF, injectors, nothing?

+1, I've also heard (haven't looked into it, but you might want to) that a Steeda #19 is a nice choice for blown applications. In addition to the cam being too big, the other considerations are piston to valve (PTV) clearance, and also your stock valvesprings don't play nice with big cams
