Default Magna Charger, power expectancy?

I am currently looking into all the options for my engine, and I was wondering...instead of going with heads/cam/intake/longtube headers..what if I were to spend a little extra and just go with a Magnacharger like Tony is doing on his 69, only on a stock engine...what kind of power could i expect to make and how much boost would I be able to run? Will it be over 450rwhp?

Thanks for your time,
Ralph

P.S. The car is a pro-touring 68 Camaro, for details check the post in the internal engine section, entitled (how to make 450rwhp, all engine)

it will be close to that. 450hp to the tires is pretty easy with any kind of power adder.

You'd need their intercooled Hot Rod kit that will be available in a few weeks. This system will be good for about 140+hp gain to the rear wheels.
