   80hp is a pretty standard gain for a blower install on the 318 magnum.
This is about the same number as the Vortech claims. Of course, on many
superchargers it is a simple matter to increase the boost and get as
much HP as you want out of the thing. Not a good idea on a stock engine
though. Beef up the engine a bit, and you can safely increase the boost
for more HP.
