you gained the compression ive herd (compression gains abut 4% of hp per 1 point of compression like from 10:1 to 11:1 ) some say you gain from 10-20 hp depending on the engine itself but you lost boost you get about 10-20 hp per pound of boost depending on size and cfm of the supercharger so depending on the supercharger itself it may have just equaled each other out

I know I have the crabs on the fat side I haven't been able to get back to the track to do some tuneing it was the first time out this year and just expected a little better performance but also had the timing locked at only 25 degrees total

I went from gas with 2 750's to alky with 2 850 ken Jones converted carbs A2000 pump boost ref regulator took the secondary jets from 79's to 85's both carbs figured better to start fat!
