Up the horsepower a fair amount depending on which style it is, and how much boost its set up to run. Granted idk how much boost id run on an older motor.

What i was referring to when i said style is weather its a root style or a centrifugal style. Each has its pros and cons, and can make some serious gains, but it all depends on setup, and the strength of the motor to handle it. I don't mess around in the Modular Ford Engine world(4.6, 5.4, 6.8 and the newer coyote 5.0 etc) My knowledge area is in the FE, Windsor, 335, 385 family's, so i am not sure how much boost it can take and still be safe on stock internals.

I always loved Procharger superchargers. I think they run about $4000 and up depending on which model you get but I dont remember if they come with intercoolers I wanna say they do, I'm not sure.
