RE: 500hp?
Xcharger will struggle to get 300rwhp, which is like 350 on the crank, you are going to want to look at a turbo. The turbo @12psi should hit pretty close to 400rwhp. If you want to go with a supercharger, do a procharger or a vortech with heads and cams.
Personally, I would do a turbo if I could do it all over again

RE: 500hp?
The thing I like about what I hear about the X is that the power comes on instantly at even low RPM's making theHP and torque,though less than the other options more avaliable for every day driving. This is how I understand it to be. Please guys correct me if I'm wrong
