The specifications just boggle the mind that they can't add any more supercharger compression as the air is approaching the point it would compress into a liquid with more pressure.
7000 won't even get you qualified. 11-13000 is what it takes. The horsepower from one whole cylinder (1500 hp) is required to spin that supercharger.

Did you guys see the tribute to the Snake on Ron Capps' funny car this weekend at Indy?
