LS9? LSA? Other?
LS9? LSA? Other? I recently got a new job, so I will soon be able to afford to do an fi build. Im looking at superchargers and I had a few questions.
I want to make around 900 rwhp with my current 402 short block.
Will an LS9 or LSA supercharger fit on an LS2 with LS1 accessories?
Would you suggest a different roots style supercharger for these goals?
Can I still use my cable throttle body or would I need to switch to a corvette style TB?
What cylinder heads should I use? Would TFS 245s be enough?
Is my goal attainable?

HexenLord: I was planning on adding a ported snout and pulley, but Im going to scrap the idea of starting with a stock sc. Thanks for the input.
Killer Z: Ive seen the heartbeat, but only for corvettes. Are they making one for f bodies?
c0ncEpT: LS9 and LSA are off the table. Im glad I posted this question.
I was just looking at cylinder heads. Is there a specific company I should be looking at for a forced induction build. I am leaning towards Trickflow or MAST, but I know there are other companies that make great heads.

The LSA heads have been over a grand at the wheels in stock form and are great but if budget is of no concern then I would grab the MAST or Trickflow heads. I haven't seen a set of the MAST heads in person or dealt with them but the TFS rectangle port heads that I have seen in person impressed me with the ETs that were gained at lower boost levels and a less aggressive tune up.

they might be making a tuner kit, where you'd have to fab brackets for the Heat exchanger and intercooler pump. I believe they can do f-body off set pulley. if you go LS9 you'll have to fab up stuff as well. i think the heartbeat system will require less modification. u might be able to get away with not having to chop the cowl. and only require a k-member spacer.

Why not turbo?
I'd stick with a supercharger if I wanted 700 max rwhp but north of that I'd go turbos.
If you insist on supercharging i would go centrifugal for that much hp, the twin screw are great until 700rwhp. After that I'm not a huge fan unless all out drag suspension and a drag tire for track only.
Do you plan on changing the hood and doing cowl removal?
