May I make a suggestion...
You appear to have already chosen which turbo you will run, if in fact you do choose to go with a turbo.
You also seem to really want a "Twin-Screw" in your F-body. Nobody has yet to get a true "twin-screw" in a F-body, just the magnacharger.... so go the easy route!
Run the turbo, then find some twins to screw in your F-body!!!

It's sort of like saying that you're not sure if you want steak or oranges, but you're certain that you want valenciano not navel oranges if you, in fact, choose oranges.

Steak and oranges does not do the same thing.....If I eat oranges instead of steak to dinner I will still be hungry.
Turbo or screw-charger does basically the same thing -they both produce hp.
Anyone know how loud the Ls1 whipplecharger is?

Thats way this isn't a question of what will produce the most hp but what will be the most fun to drive on the street.

On top of that, they both are on airboats and the turbo 377 uses half the gas of the Whipple 572.

IF you want power, efficiency and reliability, turbo is the way to go. Mike, myself and others have been down the other roads....and always end up with a turbo car...hehe.
