With a 383 and a good set of heads with that supercharger I don't see too much of a problem getting 650 hp

Likely full of it, but 12psi through a T56 STD that number is within the realm of possible. There are happy dynos out there.

I do find it highly unlikely with shorties, basic exhaust and non-intercooled just being the glaring problems.

True I didn't pay attention to the headers but not having an intercooler is hurting it

Haha. Count me in.

Yeah 12 psi and good heads and a 383 it's possible.

But the whole ad reads like bullshit to me.

On AI's results page they have 574rwhp SAE 9psi non-intercooled with their 190cc head.
12psi a good set of ported trickflows, STD correction and the number should climb a lot. BUT like I said Edelbrock headers likely means shorties, if a bolton Borla it wont support this kind of power either, doesn't say the Trickflows are ported either.

I would bet the current owner bought this car modded and genuinely believes it is that powerful, ignorance is bliss right?

Yeah that's what it sounds like to me. Somebody probably told him that's what the car put down and he never dynoed it he just believed them

On the other hand, assuming he's already got the blower and aftermarket heads..... it shouldn't take that much work to get there.

Port the heads, headers, and a pulley swap to go back to 12 psi.....

That is assuming the blower is big enough.

Also looking at fuel system mods whole new exhaust.

Yeah I forgot about that. That is assuming the fuel system wasn't "overbuilt" though. Also, powerdyne? I thought they only made those crappy little blowers for stock engines.
