Max horsepower for a Supercharger?
So this may have been asked before but after searching the forum and getting no answer to my question i decided to ask anyways! Until recently i was going to turbo my s2000 and i was planning on around 600whp, however i have recently been doing some research on superchargers and i was wondering what is the max whp that you can get with a supercharger for an s2000? I was looking at the vortech surpercharger kit for honda s2000 but it only stated that it will give 358hp, however there are also other superchargers like the V9 (http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com/product.php?p=18) that will give 600 hp, now i know these are not kits but couldnt these be used with bigger injectors and fuel pump and ecu etc. to make a higher horsepower supercharged honda s2000? Thanks in advance for the help.

Okay so i took a look at both those links above. Also doesnt the sos kit automatically come with the 1200 blower? and is an e85 the fuel pump?
If you are shooting for power go with a turbo. If you are going for reliability go with the SC'er.
500whp on a SC'er is going to take alot in supporting mods.
there is a point where the money spent will exceed the performance you are desiring.

SCOL: What’s the difference between all these head units that Vortech makes – are some for racing and some for the street?
V: Vortech makes over 25 head units and nearly all are dual purpose. Each unit has different flow and pressure characteristics. Vortech uses a SAE approved test stand to map each compressor. We then look at the characteristics of the engine and see which unit will work best. There is always a right tool for the job. You cannot simply assume only a few chargers can meet the needs of all types of engines.
hope this explain to you.

I am only looking for roughly 500whp, and i know i will need many supporting mods for his however this is the case with a turbo or a supercharger at horsepower levels that I am trying to achieve! Sorry i didnt know about the e85, i am still learning here keep that in mind! So I am ideally looking for reliability of a supercharger but also some decent power, and i know turbo would probably be better for the amount of horsepower i am looking for but i am just trying to find out if it is possible, without using e85, i use 94octane and i would like 500whp with that gas and the supporting mods for a supercharger!
Also s2000442 you said that i would need to use a t-trim vortech supercharger, why is that? also i looked on the vortech website and this was the only t-trim supercharger Vortech V-1 T-Trim Supercharger, why couldnt a v-9 work etc? Thanks
