Funny, most that know what they are doing and use the proper cam/head package are seeing well over 18 Hp per psi with the right combo. There are shops out there that just "throw" the blower on and expect it to preform. The supercharger is just like any other power adder, at a certain boost level the package comes into play. The 6.0L we run in the Bonne car made 980 @ 15 psi, and kept gaining 18 HP each pound we pumped into it.
Some folks think they know more than they really do, there are a few people on here that are going to prove them wrong soon enough.

There are lots of big numbers out there with the TVS2300 at 10-12psi. I haven't seen the holy crap numbers for those running more than that. Is your Bonne 6.0L 710hp without the blower? Nobody is insulting the blower here Brian. The Camaro SS you posted made 600RWHP with the 6.2L and headers at 10psi. The TBSS with a mild built 365 made over 600 at 11psi. Many other examples, but these are some from this site. Those are damn good numbers. Still looking for more 700RWHP 2300's in trucks and cars.

What boost level are you going to start with? The TVS2300 should make a good bit more power at the same boost level you were running the TVS1900 at. I think you'll find that once you get past 12psi the gain in power for every 1psi of boost is not nearly as great. With the right cam, big tube headers, and some mild port work on the heads your 6.0L should be a monster at 10-12psi. I'll be keeping an eye on your posts though to see if you have better results at high boost with it than what I've seen. As for the 60' time, alot of the trucks with 65E's have had 60' times in the 1.6's when they don't come out spinning. If you can get it to hook in 4wd (programming that 1-2 shift will be fun) it is going to be an animal coming out and will likely launch with the tie rods wiggling like the diesels do. You have one bad *** project going there. Keep us updated.
The truck is currently sporting ported heads, cam and 1 3/4 headers making the 12+lbs of boost. It needs almost a 10mph lead on the 1-2 shift in 4wd.
Back to your corners boys! Play nice.

BC, isn't there a formula that says how much power say a blower will add to a given powerplant? Take the 980 HP one Zippy is talkin bout.
He muttered 710 N/A. Leaves 270/ 15= 18. That was boost # u said it was gaining.
I thought 14.7 atmospheric gets figured in equation, & that # is effectively doubled. 490 hp n/a x2 = 980. I figure your example of 15# is close enuff to 14.7 to call it a wash. Did I screw that up?
Or take a LM7, rated @ 295. Pop a Radix on, but don't use 14.7 # of boost, cut it in 1/2. Make it, 7.35 # of boost. So 1/2 of 295 would be 147. So if u could hit 7.353 of boost exactly, it'd make 295+147 = 442. Right? I left out driveline/ frictional loss.
