Default HP increase from a supercharger

If i put a supercharger on my '95 cobra what kind of horsepower increases can i expect? I am thinking about an eaton type blower but I dunno. Any help?

With the money you'd spend on a SC, you could get a good set of heads/cam and intake you'd have about the same amount of HP/TRQ gains.

That and if you decide to add a SC later the gains would be greater.

Just something to think about.

most s/c's are about a 40% increase over stock at like 8psi. so, if you run 6, look at maybe 30-35%

like stated most street setups. see a gain of 70 to 80 hp. that isnt much for 4k in material. knowing spray can get you alot more for alot less.........but they do sound cool
