How much PSI could I make with a 2.8L Bell blowing into a 5.3L? I'm not all to familiar with supercharger theory yet.
With a built bottom end it should hold up decently well. The guys that have been posted can tell you excatly

As for the supercharger I dont know. but GENERALLY speaking the turbo systems are more effecent in making power and no where near the parasitic loss. It would probably be a better idea. And more cost effective. No pulleys to buy when you are ready to start pushing the charger harder. Just up the boost on a turbo and rock out.
