Before adding the supercharger I was running 13.0 with 292 RWHP, it seems like most SS automatics that are running right are putting down around 330 RWHP. assuming they will run the 13.0 advertised.

Now I'm at 490 RWHP with my Mustang GT, I would guess he would have to be around 550 RWHP to run near same times.

Sound about right?
It is more than just numbers .. gotta look at tq curves, gearing, drag coeficient etc (drivers ) .... You are probably about right on though .. I would say about 530 - 540 rwhp with the same curves ...

I was guessing to run about he same as my 509rwhp / 520rwtq 04 cobra, I'd have to make about 550rwhp with the SS.
