It all depends on how you tune it. Did you get all the old hardware that came with the kits to "tune"?

50-75 whp is a reasonable expectation with the old school tuning equipment and nothing else done to the engine.

If you find someone who capable and is willing to burn a chip to custom tune the setup you can expect more.

If you convert to mass air and tune "conventionally" you can expect more with a competent tuner.

Mass air

I picked up a mass air kit from fiveology racing I plan installing that first and then the supercharger . I'm not quite sure what you ment by tuning tools?

According to Vortech you should see 330-355hp and 520-540 ft/lbs.

One of these days I'll have to get mine on the dyno

The doodads that come with the kit are an fmu (increases fuel pressure in relation to boost), and an ignition management box that retards timing with boost.
