I think you guys are drastically over estimating what 4 or 5 psi on a roots blower is going to add to a 14 year old motor. My SVX put a whopping 133awhp down bone stock. 5 psi is not going to add 200 hp, especially considering the car is going to be running a non-custom tune.

And 250awhp is very fast compared to virtually everything else on the road. Most cars out there are what, about 90 to 120 hp to the wheels? 250 at the wheels is already far more power than is really safe in a car that's already under braked at the factor 130awhp.
