Default Supercharging performance

I am considering putting a Vortech supercharger with intercooler in my 2002 TA Firehawk. Leaving suspension and exhaust as per SLP mods, what kind of performance will this provide me. The performance garage tells me 470 HP and 462 lbs torgue. What can I expect for 0-60 times and 1/4 times if I do this? Are there cheaper ways with chips that could get similiar results?

You'll need some tires to hold the power, probably a bit of suspension too.

Otherwise you won't go anywhere except up in smoke.

there is no magic "chip" for our cars sorry it will cost you pretty penny besides forced induction you could get a nitrous setup...or a pretty sweet head/cam setup and put down around that number.
