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.

You understand the stresses the rotating assembly is under
. That same 2.3L tvs is in the gt 500 making 15 psi with a 9:1 compression ratio engine. The parasitic loss has been quoted around 150 HP (by ford engineers, not a random internet marketing person trying to troll me, poorly). Assuming similar compression ratio, boost level etc, that's where I arrived at the 850-875 HP stresses on the rotating assembly estimate.
