doubt it would benefit from such a large blower. it would have trouble spinning it. if n e thing a 2.9L, 3.4L or i believe they have a 4.0L, i'm sure n e of those will out perform stock supercharger.

Well..O.k. The Cobras did well to a certain point. What is the highest KB Cobra out there? 800-850? I really don't know for sure but I know us guys in the Vette world are trying to get past that as the blowers are advertised in the 1K range but what will it take to get them there? The stock Corvette KB kit will not get there for a couple of technical reasons with layout and packaging concerns. I think the unit itself is capable but there are a lot of limiting factors when you put it on a platform that has to be road worthy. The setup in the Whipple thread isn't really feasible for a sustained all weather ordeal. I can hack up my Z06 and have the blower sitting 18 inches out of my hood and the packaging problems are not there but I can't drive that safely on the road. It is all about perspective and purpose. Could I have built a 1200rwhp Kenne Bell Camaro from my old 2000 SS? Yes. Would it have been practical? No. So I settled for a Z06 that will put down 800rwhp and I will have some fun with it, sell it, and buy another project.

I was looking more toward using a Tubular K-Member from BMR WITHOUT motor mounts and then using some MadMan Front/Mid Mount Plates to move the engine where I needed. Of course I could cut the cowl a little to keep from moving the engine to far forward. Hopefully I'll be able to start this build soon and keep you guys posted.
