Cornel Tech has come up w/ a way to make a whipple supercharger fit an LT1. Check it out:

http://www.corneltechweb.com/superchargerweb.htm

They're planning on starting production for them in the Spring and basically they'll sell everything you need to make it fit (Fuel Rails, Intake, etc.) and you would buy the supercharger direct from whipple. If you're very interested in it then email the owner at: info@corneltechweb.com

We need to support them as much as possible, since this is an awesome innovation!!

What's up with those "fuel rails" how much is it gonna cost? remember the average lt1 owner nowadays, even with old farts like SS RRR hanging on is like 17.4 years old.

very cool! Ive never seen that, but i got out of fbodys about 4 years ago on the dot.

Its cool and all, for some reason, i dont know why, i just like turbochargers more. I think these cars sound wicked with a rear mount. supercharger whine is cool but i think turbo whistle is cooler. plus you dont have to spend all that time under the cowl of the car haha, thats stuff sucks!

I saw this a few years ago and I guess it's cool, but there are much better options out there.
