The stillen kit will never be a torque monster and never exceed what the oem internals can handle. Lets just say you could hit 600whp with this kit. As long as the intake temps are reasonable then it should still be able to handle this blower.

I received my front mount and a few parts to the kit. I would love to find time this weekend to play around with it but its my last weekend before I get married and I have a ton of stuff to take care of.
You're right. In theory compared to the turbo crowd doing 600+ whp stock block, the supercharger route should be able to do 700+ whp with the lower torque. How reliably it can do that and for how long is the question. Track duty on 600 whp for extended periods of time I don't see happening, but 550 from a supercharger shouldn't be an issue.

Congrats on the wedding! I'm getting married next year. That stuff is expensive man, I put off all car mods and this season of racing to stock up money...
