stock is 190 at the crank

and with those modes there is too many variables to give a good guess but u would say between 300-450 at the rear wheels

How much boost you going to run on the supercharger? 8 psi is the normal and safe range for the stock bottom end.

10psi is safe to, unless it makes more than 350rwhp.

no damn idea here......just make sure if you are around 350rwhp (i think that is right) to go ahead and get the 8.8 rear end. Dont want to break anything

Thanks!
@10 psi. -- 315 horse power at the wheels... on stock bottom end...

@17 psi on a forged bottom end -- 450 horse power

please note these are guesses... you must wait a few more months to get a definite answer, thank you
