Default If LPE makes a Blower for the F-body.

If it is the same size as the on for the c5, what kind of power do you think it will make on a bolton f-body?? What about with heads and cam?? Isn't it true on that type of blower you can run basically any cam you want?
Also what if they have to use a smaller one? What kind of power and boost? Sorry for the questions all the time, but I know no one has asked this and after seeing someday it could be possible I am curious.

Why? Because more than half our intake manifold is under the windshield. The Vette blower will not fit as is.

i am just trying to decide wether or not to wait out for this, and see if it happens.
What kind of power does the vette make with the blower and headers.

Magnuson may produce a kit for the LS1 f-body this year and the compressor may have to be a little smaller to fit under the cowl. The C5 system adds about 100hp.

how much do you think it will cost???? And on these can you change the pulleys to make more boost?? I know there is a limit to boost due to heat in intake charge, but i will more than likely use nitrous to help cool.

Pricing may be somewhere in the $5000. range but I can't say for sure yet. Magnacharger usually doesn't produce other pulleys that allow you to run more boost but there is usually a way to come up with something. I'll post details when I get them. It may be later in the year before I hear anything about this.
