Hi. Does anyone know of any roots style supercharger kits available for the LS7 engine at this time? Please advise.

No, unfortunately none of the roots style supercharger companies make an intake manifold that's compatible with the LS7 heads.

why would you want a roots on an 427 LS7 anyway. It can barely feed enough air to a well built 346 as it is... either a screw blower or a centri would be better...

If they ever bring the new tvs models to the market they will easily support a 7.0 liter or bigger engine,

An 8-71 or 10-71 would have no problem blowing the gaskets out of a 427 on high boost.

Please explain. The general concept is great. Did they design it poorly in that kit or something?

I believe Magnuson offers a lower manifold that works with the LS7 heads. But I don't believe they offer a supercharger kit yet. Contact Blown Chevy on here he works for Magnuson.

if you're baller enough to buy an ls7 crate motor or a new z06 you could always have a beck or hogan intake made for a couple grand with a blower plate welded on top...

well it was big new on the corvette forum when people first saw the pics, but there has been NOTHING from the company about the product and only heard of 1 guy that had it.

guess people want proof that it works before shelling out.

By the way, I would like a complete kit, bolt on, not looking for anything custom made...
