What engine?

Depends what engine you put it on. If you stick it on a stock SOHC with the basics, you'll probably make ~160hp which is around 145whp. You'll get more of a torque increase than you will hp. But it all depends on your tune, what enginne you have, how much you've done to the engine, etc.

SC maintenance is pretty simple, if you buy new, you just have to worry about belts and idler pulleys. Used kits you may want to replace the bearings inside and things like that, but there is no need for an oil supply like turbo's and no charge piping of any kind (assuming you mean a JRSC). Belts are a bitch, if you don't have them installed properly you'll shred them, and sometimes they just break because they feel like it. After you replace the belt a few times it gets pretty easy though.

SC won't make the power of a turbo, but I don't regret putting one on my car at all.

Stock boost should net you ~220-230whp. Feel free to ask questions in the long *** "what JRSC setup are you running?" thread.
