wouldn't it be different on a supercharger? far as i know theres one size unlike turboes where 10-12 psi without the turbo app is useless.

el searcho button top right. use advanced. oh and i'd imagine you'd barely have to touch anything at 10-12.

Depending on the pulley used you'll push 6, 8 or 11 PSI out of that. I don't know about HP numbers 'cause all JR will quote is track times.
"Our '95 completely stock GSR tested by Motor Trend in Oct. '98 ran a 0-60 of 5.7 seconds and 1/4 mile in 14.2 seconds. We have consistently run this same car at Pomona with consistent 14.0 time slips. The same car with Intake, header, exhaust, and test pipe ran a 13.4 on slicks with 100 Octane fuel."

Again, check the FI forums for more useful info.

These mount on stock engines so I would say it would hurt. SC setups don't appear to be the same. AGAIN, ask in the supercharger thread in the FI forum.
