The supercharger is from Rick Rimmer. He repurposed the 3.8 v6 supercharger for use on the 4.0 with some custom bracket. These SC units make about 100 HP and 100 lb ft on a stock motor. My guess is that it should make right around 500 each, but those numbers could go either way by 10%.

Wow..sounds nasty. There was a guy running a 4.8 on lots of nitrous at Gravelrama last year an it was damn strong.
