Supercharger question

Hey i got another C5 and its got a blower on it and i was wondering what kind it is and what kind of rwhp they make, i think its pretty much stock but has exhaust on it. Well it turns out i cant post attachments. It sits on top of the engine and has a couple pulleys at the back with a belts and then a shaft that goes to the front with the drive pulley on the end of it.

That is the magnusson SC. Gains on a stock car are roughly ~60 - 85RWHP or more in some cases.

Yep, unless it's intercooled and unless it's a polished metal, which in either case it is more. Here's a site, but they're also sold by some vendors here on the forum: magnuson
