Default Paxton & Whipple Superchargers

Can a Paxton supercharger be used with an LS1 or LS6 engine.
I have a local car "upgrader" tell me that he puts in Paxton and Whipple superchargers in Corvette's.
I thought they (Paxton & Whipple) did not make kits for Corvette's??

Someone would have to fab up a custom intake for the Whipple, but if it was put on a C5. That bitch would own

They make blowers . They are quite popular with the 03+ Cobras because they make great power. The KB's for the cobras are twin-screw superechargers I believe.

The Kenny Bell are twin screw superchargers that easily put down 600 rwhp on the 03 cobras. The problem with putting that kind of supercharger or a whipple is that there isn't enough clearance between the cowl and the engine on a f body. Supposedly there is a company working on it but we'll have to see.

And yeah a Corvette with a Kenny Bell would rule!!!

A Magnacharger is a twin-screw design right? if so I have a video of a bad *** corvette from lenginfelter with a Magnacharger on it. I believe I downloaded it from the multimedia section. It is a big file. 40 megs. https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...&highlight=z06

Roots-type have lobes. I don't know if they would be as hard to fab as screws. When you only need less than 10 psi, the roots-type should be fine

Twin screws can make a lot of head - more than a S/C would need

The problem with kenny bell would be the price!
The magna is at 4900$ but lets wait, the website from bell shows no sign of a kit
