Supercharger hp?????

[Joshuaalpha]

What is the actual horsepower of the grand am after the magnuson spercharger is put on. People ask me how much horsepower I have and I can't tell them because I don't know. I tell them about 260hp because that is what the sc/t had but one of the guys at magnacharger blurted out that it was about 224hp
Has anyone put there car on a dyno to test it out. I would really like to clear this up. Was the 224 hp from the tires? and 260hp from the engine?

AAMRAM4 Dyno'd at 193 to the wheels.. Which is roughly in the 240 range at the crank.

On the PFYC website they showed a dyno graph with 202hp at the wheels on a stock car with only the SC added (60hp over stock). When I had mine dyno'd last I got 189hp at the wheels also with SLP exhaust, K&N filter, and ignition mods. Needless to say I was kinda ****ed at magnacharger, although I still got well over a 40hp increase. Only reason I can see for the difference is it was somewhat warm the day I dyno'd (about 82 degrees and car was warm from driving). I don't think the SC lives up to it's full potential unless you have other mods. Like a CAI/TB combo and heads.

I dyno'd my SC. I did 190.3 hp and 203.3 torque at the wheels. Considering 22% drivetrain losses, that comes out to 243.9 HP and 260 ft/lb of torque at the crank. ;)
