With the powerdyne and an open exhaust I pick up about a 100 hp at the wheels.

the simple calculation is appr. 8-10RWHP per 1pound of boost. you will see more on cool days, and less on warm days, but thats the easiest way to make an estimate. of coarse alot of other things factor in. a 6psi blower with a good tune will give you 50HP to the wheels easy. most companies make differant pulley sizes for more or less boost.

No! a supercharger doesnt work like that. It is spun by a belt from your crank, so if you want more boost then you will have to change pulleys.
