ATTN: anyone with Paxton SN-92 experience or superchargers in general

I have a Paxton SN-92 and i now think I may have really screwed up.

Its supposed to give a stock L98 roughly 100 hp more at the crank. This means you take an engine that has 250 and add 100 to it for a total of 350.

I have a ZZ1 currently in the car, its supposed to make 345 NA with no accessories.

Does this mean that that blower can only support 350 crank hp and that putting it on my ZZ1 would mean almost nothing? I think 83 Crossfire TA worked it out and I would have 2.5 lbs boost or so. If this is the case, then this supercharger is not where I want to be selling my money and I guess I will Ebay it.

What do you guys have to say?

Thanks

the sn-92 has been phased out. i have one and it put out 6psi on a bone stock tpi and 4psi on a modified tpi 350 w/afr heads and a zz4 cam.i'm either going to sell mine and upgrade to a vortech or have it rebuilt and the high output impeller installed.

Yeah, you wont be too impressed with a SN92. I have a modded 305 with one, and it ain't that great. It makes a cool sound though

Sell it and buy something better.
