Default Powerdyne on an LQ4?

I ran across a steal on a powerdyne setup off an escalade that has just been rebuilt by powerdyne. He said it was pullied for 6psi on an LQ9 (I dont know how much boost it will build with lq4, maybe 4-5), but pullies are made for swapping. I also have the smallish intercooler that came with my procharger kit on my camaro, so I will figure out some way to add that in.
Just curious if anyone knows what kind of power gains I could expect out of this.
Thanks

I am not really looking to make a ton of power, just a noticeable improvement. This is the wifes car, so I cant go too wild with it.

Anyone have any idea what kind of boost this will make? What pullies do you think I would need to get around 8lb out of it?
The kit should be here tuesday, so I will know a little more about it then.

Alright, the blower came in today. It is an older powerdyne system I think. The supercharger itself looks like a powerdyne, but the id plate is gone. The plastic tube from the supercharger to the intake says CoolCharger.
The bracket is steel rather than aluminum, but overall seems to be alright. I am gonna have to fab up a tensioner (this one has an auxillary crank pulley so the belt only runs the supercharger) because the tensioner is missing.
I'll post up some pics of it soon.
My plan is to spin the rear housing and run the intercooler either in front of the rad or down behind the bumper, depending on where it fits best.
Didnt figure I could pass up boost for $500
