Very interested. Not sure if this has been asked, but would there be clearance issues with a stock hood?

Stop being lazy and spend 2 seconds clicking the link.

I am going to use my new intake design with a Whipple 175ax supercharger. No K-Member spacing is required or hacking or cutting. This fits under the stock hood!!!

It will fit with no changes to K member or hood. Just remove the felt hood liner so it wont get eaten by the drive belt.

If I could make comparative power to my T-76 setup I currently have, I'd give up the turbo for this. I love the idea of a stroked roots blown LT1. Awesome work and I can't wait to see some results.

Kind of scared to know how much was invested thus far or how much it would be to replicate.

I feel like this would be awesome for people because it would be so easy to install.. its not like a turbo where you have to do sooo much work ( i would know)

I'm scared of the price tag on this bad boy. If it comes out and us somewhat affordable my build is going from big cube high compression nitrous car to low compression boosted car.

Looks awesome, can't wait to see it installed. Though a kit would be nice, the average whipple set up costs twice the price of the average LT1.

This!
But the OP seems to be lots of walk, and little talk. Very curious about the direction of this sales wise!

This. Coming out with new expensive mods for the LT1 platform is definitely not a smart business move.
