if i got a procharger for my 350 pushin 4 or 5 pounds would i need a bypass valve or intercooler?

I'm assuming you mean a Blow Off Valve (BOV)? I don't think you need one at that PSI, but an Intercooler always helps lower inlet temps, which can be good for some more power.

This catalog by Procharger is great. I learned a lot from it when I was trying to figure out my combo. Page 36 talks about BOV's and when they become necessary (8 psi). Page 26 talks about intercooling.

Im not tryin to be the suzy downer of this convo but is a supercharger putting out 5 psi worth it? Im not talking from experience because Iv never drove a forced induction anything lol. Would you see a big boost in power from 5 psi? This is more of a question than anything

Oh yeah, every additional psi is worth it. Example, a well built SBC with 10:1 compression would probably make about 450hp. Now add 5 psi boost, the compression is now almost 14:1 the boost, now you have a 14:1 SBC 400 makin 600-650hp.

And you just went from premium to race fuel lol

Yeah, that was a bad example, LOL!

More like 8:1 compression base and 11:1 under boost so you can still run pump gas.
