Supercharged pinto

Having just witnessed a mate buy a 2.0 Pinto with a supercharger, what sort of power figures is he likely to see?

Or has anyone got one? Any links?

Cheers

It will all depend on what pressure it is running, cam profile, head porting and a multitude of other things.
I believe David Vizard got around 650BHP out of a pinto.....before it destroyed itself.

Holy mother of god!

My friend is buying Vizards book based on advice, apparently it's very good. A well sorted N/A pinto should see 200, but I think that's optimistic for him. He wanted the engine in N/A form to produce about 140 (realistically) but has no idea what the SG will do to it.

He's now mentioned keeping the SG for a rainy day, perhaps for a more interesting build?
