Default Twin Screw in an F Body?

There has to be a thread about this somewhere, guess I couldn't find it. Anyway, is there anyone out there runnin a twin screw setup in there F Body? I'm not really one to like centri's, so twin screw or a turbo for me. I don't know of any twin screw kits/systems specifically designed for F Body's (if any, please point me in the right direction). I'd love to get a twin screw blower powering my 98, but as everyone knows this is pretty uncommon. So, any kits/systems for F Body's? Anyone with a setup that is *decently orthodox and doable?

Thank you!.. Although still no satisfaction that there is a kit readily available yet :/ still looking though. Who knows, maybe some companies are working on it as we speak, lets hope.

I wouldn't hold your breathe on someone developing a kit because the profit just isn't there like it is for a 2010+ camaro. The engineering constraints of a tight engine bay is something that's going to be tough to engineer out unless you accept dropping the engine, accept that its going to be limited to mid 500hp max, accept that your going to have to cut the cowl.
Each one of those concessions eliminates more and more potential customers to where it doesn't appeal to larger companies to invest in the engineering and design and tooling costs.

So you're left with accepting those things and having to engineer it yourself.

Yea, I guess it's a feat that I'll have to accomplish by means of custom work. Oh well, if I don't end up doing it... I'm Completely fine with a good ol turbo setup!
