Default Which centri head units can handle a 454?

Can you knowledgeable folks tell me which centrifugal head units have the capacity for a 454 at 10 psi, 6500 rpm?

A Procharger F1-R or Vortech YSi would handle a 454 nicely.

An F1C would work just fine on a 454 at only 10 psi.http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com....html?item=700 Bob

YSi would work on that, Hot Rod's salt flat car ran a BBC + YSi and made like 800rwhp.

Thanks to all for the responses. I found the specs on the manufacturer's websites (sorry, should have done that before posting). Rough calculation shows I'll need about 1300 cfm. In which case, it looks like a D1-SC, Novi-2000, or V-7 JT trim should do it, but at 6500 you'd be within 100-150 cfm of their rated flow. Is it safe to run that close to the upper end? My only reason for asking is that I'd like the quietest unit possible that has sufficient capacity, and the "race" blowers seem to have a reputation for being very loud.

I wouldnt worry about being close to max, not like its going to be there for long periods of time. My F1A is easily 5 times louder then the D1SC and I have a loud exhaust, so if you want quiet be careful. I havent heard many Novi 2000s but a YSi can put out some noise..

I heard some loud ones and I've heard some quiet ones, same with the prochargers. I think I have the quietest D1 I ever heard and the loudest F1 I ever heard

All the Novi 2000s I have heard were VERY quite. Unnoticable in fact.
