How much horsepower does a supercharger add to an engine?
I’m thinking about adding a supercharger to my truck’s engine, but wondering if it’s worth the price. How much extra horsepower would my engine get with a supercharger?

Hmmm, perhaps we have a gear head in the making? If you’re looking for the rush of a truly strong
acceleration
, adding a supercharger to your engine will definitely add some horsepower. The exact
amount of horsepower
that gets added with a supercharger depends on factors like your truck’s current exhaust system, cooling system, and overall condition. However, it is estimated that superchargers can add an extra 50-100 horsepower to your engine! Most estimates will put a percentage of power boost in relation to your vehicle’s original horsepower output though. Put this way, you’re looking at 30%-50% more than your truck’s original output! Either way you look at it, that’s a lot of horses.
If you decide to go for the added power of a supercharger, the value of your truck is likely to go up and you’ll probably want to make sure your car insurance coverage is proportional—without breaking the bank.
