I am not trying to be argumentative or ignorant, only trying to understand the thought process here but, if you lost say 40hp through your stock drivetrain at 425 crank hp and you added a supercharger that gave you another 125hp for 550 crank hp you still should only lose 40hp through the same drivetrain.
I will assume that you "beefed up" your drivetrain to handle that kind of horsepower but, wouldn't an aftermarket set-up be more efficient than stock to take advantage of what you have, not lose it.
