Default I need a little help.....

I was on another board(SVT board.....gotta represent and defend) and one joker says that the magnusson boosted cars will not get you 100hp. He also mentions a procharged car not making even 380rwhp. He is talking dyno graphs the whole bit. So if you guys could just read the thread below and educate the boy a little bit. I would appreciate it. His name is Silver03Snake. He gets a little personal with me so I need a little help shuttin' the dude up. You will have to register to access the thread I think. It is in a members only area. Thanks in advance.

A little BS to get you started:

"my friend has a 97 vette with a procharger at 5lbs of boost and exhaust. now i have a 2003 cobra with a steeda CAI and stinger exhaust. i know i have to swap pulleys, but what size? what will i need to beat him?"

That was the original thread starter.....fair question.

Silver03snake says......"He said it only had exhaust and the PC. That car will not be running 380 rwhp at 5 psi........"................and then.........."
But this is a stock engine with just 5 psi. 5 psi. That aint going to put up 100 HP on a 300 rwhp car. Aint goin to happen. 1 psi may get you 15 rwhp if your'e lucky. You do the math. One of the reason the guys running 5 psi is because he is smart. He's probably got a safe tune and he's satisfied with the power. "

He even says it won't get 100bhp. Anyway, would appreciate any time you could devote in that thread. Thanks again.
