Default S/C question

I was just wondering what supercharger would be capable of supplying a 408 w/ported AFR 225's, a big cam, ls2 intake, and all the other goodies? What would it take to make 800rwhp+ through a th350 or th400? While keeping the boost down around 15-17psi(so slippage wouldn't be a biotch which is pretty much impossible without a cog set up{probably using a 10 rib})

Unless u want to get a base kit and modify the stuff, which is not ideal.

And you can get a clockwise or reverse rotation F1/F1R.

is there a possibility to finding a template for the mounts?

I would really prefer a kit that I could work with, and thats mainly b/c I don't have anything to use to work with the tubing. I do have access to a cnc machine and a complete machine shop though. I could have someone to do a custom kit for me but I'm not big on other people working on my ride.

You'd be buying a kit and then modifying the brackets and then maxing out the twin intercoolers. Does not make sense.

Or you could get a Vortech Kit, get custom brackets, and upgrade to a T-Trim that will fit on top of the engine. Still ditching the stock brackets and the stock blower.

For the money, you can get custom ducting done pretty reasonably.

I'm sure they will reply, but it was either a 76 or 80 small frame turbo.

I just got off of the phone with some shop in New Jersey( i think thats where it was) and the guy is getting me a price list up for a F1R kit now. They also wanted to get me prices on a rotating assembly and heads and all other kinda stuff but people try anyway. I am interested in the kit though. I should know something tomorrow.
