I would seriously contest the claim that 5-6psi of a standard supercharger is gonna get anywhere near 350rwhp from an LT-1. An LT-1 puts down, what, about 230-240rwhp stock? Adding 110rwhp with 5-6psi isn't gonna happen on that thing. That's 130hp at the crank. Now, 350 at the crank I'd believe.

The stock 5.0 also responds like *** to boost. A standard supercharger will get you about 10hp per 1psi.
