How low of compression? That will have a lot to do with your power output. Personally I wouldnt even waste the time/money dynoing a motor that is built for a supercharger but doesn't have it installed yet.

It's really too hard for people to answer, simply because people dont build lower than stock naturally aspirated motors since it doesnt make any sense to do so.
