When they say 500 - is that at the crank or tires?

I'll wager tires. I don't think the fuel injectors or the MAF could keep up at 500 rwhp.








BTW: I'm pretty sure THIS is the best blower on the market... Bar None!

"With an estimated 500 horsepower, this modified SVT Lightning is the perfect remedy for performance enthusiasts who feel the stock 385-horsepower Lightning is simply "adequate.""

Since they quote the stock horsepower as the crank HP (even if it is underrated), then the 500 number should also be at the crank. There is no good reason they would suddenly list a rwhp rating since it would be lower than their advertising standard.
