RPS Superchargers, The Blower Shop, Joe Blo Speed Shop and Goodvibesracing. The first 3 offer manifolds, drive kits and blowers while joe blo offers all kinds of other **** for blown ls engines(unfortunately located Australia) and goodvibes has all the big and ugly injector hat parts. I just unfortunately could not bring myself to go thru with it for a number of reasons. 1. Price - way more expensive than my twin setup( that's with me building the manifold) 2. Durability - I live in deep east texas and we all know that roots blowers build a lot of heat (no e85) 3. Ease of operation - There's one remotely close to me that could even begin to help with a injected blown ls motor. 4. $$$ - when I stopped counting it was going to be thousands with an s more than my twin setup. If you do it please post because I would love to see it. By the way when me and my buddy with his 2016 mustang gt350 go to car shows he gets pissed cause everyone is looking at my twin setup in my c10.
Thank you for the info, im still going to carry on with the build but it will be a lengthy project
