That IS only an estimate.Not a positive thing.
I'm sure a lot has to do with the kind of blower and the combination.
But I did do back to back dyno pulls,one at 14# and added a 4# pulley and got 40 rwhp from it.
So Id say it's a good estimate just to give you an idea.

Not sure if it would be something to worry about, but something hopefully him and his tuner will watch.

The biggest thing I would worry about is the heat with that Eaton. It's not a ported blower, and he still has a stock heat exchanger. I just wonder how how the IAT's will get, and how his cast piston's will like it.

will a bigger heat exchanger do the job?
It sure would help on those heaton blowers. The lightning guys I feel can get away with it more because of their forged pistons. Cast pistons don't forgive any to high intake air temps and any sort of lean condition. I would imagine if your a/f was kept in the low 11's and a good aftermarket heat exchanger you shouldn't have anything to worry about.
Also a ported blower drops the IAT 20 or so degrees across the board.
If I was in your position, I would buy an upgraded heat exchanger, and get the blower ported by Stiegemeier. You would see an increase of around 20-30rwhp, or at least a lightning will see that increase.
