The idea of a blower sounds interesting but... I keep thinking about getting an 03 Cobra because it can be fast as hell for cheap...factory blower. But $35,000 is a lot of cash. I would be happy with a blower on my SS. I can't decide between the Vortech or ATI D1. Here is my complete mod list thats on my SS:
ARE stage 2 heads and cam (heads have dual springs)
LS6 intake
ARE ported oil pump
SVO 30lb injectors
SLP 85mm MAF
Ported TB
Whisper lid w/ k&n filter
SLP cold air induction kit(knock off of Fast Toys kit)
NGK-TR55 plugs
Ed Wright tuning w/ 28 degrees timing at WOT
RAM 6130/402 VDS clutch kit
Moser 12 bolt: 4.10 gears, 33 spline axles, HD Eaton Posi, --and T/A cover
BMR tubular Subframe connectors
BMR tubular Lower control arms
This set up dynoed 414RWHP 387RWTQ on a known conservative dyno and with AFS chrome 17x11 ZR1 rims w/ 315-35zr-17s.
I think 8-10 PSI would be sweet. Is this possible or do I have to change my H/C set-up? Should I just get the GWP stage 2 ATI-D1 kit? I am looking for some serious help here. Thanks guys!

Re: The idea of a blower sounds interesting but... I would sell your complete motor then buy a 6.0L iron longblock for $900. Throw in a small cam, mild headwork, diamond boost pistons, forged rods ( lunati Pro Mods come with ARP bolts ), head studs. You wont have that much in it at all, I bet you could even pay for 80% of it with the money you get from your motor. I would shoot for aroun 9:1 compression ratio with 10psi. '03 Cobras and MKIV Supras both have 8.5:1 CR and that is what I am going with.

Re: The idea of a blower sounds interesting but... Anything over 10psi and you will have belt-breaking,slip issues.I had belt problems at 10psi with free-flowing heads and exhaust.Sold my D-1.They do make good power,but belt problems drove me nuts.
Re: The idea of a blower sounds interesting but... Not only would it drive you nuts, but in order to fix it with no other problems you would have to dole out $1500 for a cog drive set up. The ATI units are very nice and i havent had any problems with mine yet
. It's a good blower and makes good HP.
