While superchargers make big power down low.... don't forget if you pulley them aggressively you can see a few bad things: belt slip and namely heat soak,

As others have suggested buy a used CTSv blower (ctsvowners.com) and plop some LSA/LS9 heads on your shortblock with appropriate cam and it will make 650rwhp and drive great. Their main downfall is heat soak though.... so if you do back to back passes or plan to road race it.... it will not run cool. A large reservoir helps.... but that will only prolong the heat soak.

The centrifugal blowers suffer from less heat soak.....

I haven't seen ANY E-Force blowers make big numbers on the dyno.... and not at the track either. A stock CTSv blower, stock heads, smaller pulley, cam/headers, e85/inj will run 10's all day long with a manual trans.... low 10's with an auto or faster.

Turbo's work too Boost by gear is a wonderful thing:
My other RX-7.... running a 100% stock T56 Magnum and McLeod twin disc.
