What's your setup and blower now? Do you have any belt slip? Yes, you can get a bigger blower, but need more detail.

You need to contact RMCR in Colorado , they make a kit to adapt a T trim or YSi to your existing kit.

I would recommend the YSi with the extra cubic inches you have.

If you have the money you can go with a cogged belt sytem for a real nice look and sound.

I have a T-trim with LS1 mounting brackets for sale. On a 418 it made 11 PSI through a front mount intercooler (12 through the aftercooler). If your interested PM me and I can give you more details.

You can click on the link in my sig.. It now has a YSi on it but the T sat in the same place. The intake tube has the larger bung welded to it for the race bypass valve. It is the RMCR kit, what it lacks is the tensioner bracket, tensioner & the spacers between the brackets.
