The 280(?)whp being the more realistic when it comes to actual performance.

That being said, the Ti trim being rated at up 950 hp - actually is about 750 whp.
Still good enuff for me ... plus it will bolt right in with only having to enlarge the input piping.

Offer still stands to 1Slow' - would be willing to upgrade to the V-7 if it makes sense ... and I am willing to stand corrected.
Another thing to remember is the additional parasitic losses from the supercharger itself. A very Vortech savy member on my350z estimated he was losing an additional 10-15% to the supercharger at 17 psi. If correct, that would push the Ti's potential whp down to 600-700. Have you checked into the calculated losses when pushing the psi limits of these head units?
