Even if this is all they can muster out of the kit (which I am sure it's not), it would feel leaps and bounds more powerful than the current Comptech/Vortech offerings.

True
I meant more for my personal wants
I'm also concerned about the severe hp and tq drop off at around 8000 rpms. Might not be that big of a deal... not really sure

I wonder if a different cam grind would help out with a positive displacement supercharger?

Given the recent commens about intercooler size/type, it does not make it sound that a boost upgrade will be as simple as a pulley upgrade. I guess that may be one thing BRP may investigate after this kit is up and running.
When choosing this kit, you should realize that this blower is not going to support much more than 350whp, so if you're someone who is going to get bored with 300whp after some time and feel the need for more speed, you're going to run into a brick wall shortly there after.
This isn't all the could muster out of the kit. I just read this post from the BRPerformance forum:
"[I]We spent about 10 straight hours on the dyno Saturday and learned a lot about the setup and the fuel management.
The first thing we learned is that a non-intercooled setup is a bad idea for this application. We made good power, but it was inconsistent and we were way too close to the knock threshold for my comfort. So, at this point we don
