Nothing on a Boosted Engine is Free.
Belt stuff sucks up Horsepower at an amazing rate when actually raced on the drag strip. Bonneville stuff is a bit easier on things, as Travis mentioned, due to more time to accelerate up to max rpm. But there you have a Density & Temperature change to deal with.
Large PSI style Professional Superchargers consume massive amount of horsepower from the engine going down the track. Marty P's supercharger deal is HP thirsty for sure. Which makes his performance at Tucson Az so impressive.
I still think that we are learning more about boosting every day than any time in history other than pre-during WW-II.
Good Luck with your project Adam.
