I'm guessing that occar's response to you, Mike, had a bit to do with this comment...

I read that as (paraphrasing) "the parasitic loss from the supercharger is only 1/3 of a HP total". I don't believe I've seen a supercharger with that kind of adiabatic efficiency.
That's also what he was referring to when saying that your 700bhp package was "875-ish". Assuming that the 700bhp was post-loss.
