Those with 240 wbhp wish they had more, like closer to 300 wbhp?

I ask this question because 240 wbhp seems to be a standard "round about number" after a super charger has been installed. That and are most of you with these results feel that 240 is a good and fine number, like the car 'for my driving about needs' doesn't require anymore?

Like I have stated on other forum postings in the F/I sub forum I've been maddened by trying to get at least 300 wbhp by the time I'm finished. But let me take a step back here, do I really need 300 or will 240 be just fine for me? I dunno, perhaps I should do it in stages while taking care of my brakes, coilovers and others. For me handling is of paramount importance, it's a higher priority than the engine by itself. A car is a living machine where every "Bob and Bit" is as important as the next.

By the way this is a little off topic but does anyone know how much a typical Super Charger takes away from the motor, robs - steals to take from the engine to make the extra power. After all Super Chargers are are parasitic And they require a bit of power from the engine to make power. So at stock we are getting near about's 165wbhp to make 240 wbhp. Which i figure to be damn good. But not talking the whole machine that produces the power, there is a lot more going into making a 300 S/C car.
