OP is a close friend of mine, rest assured that the day you will be able to purchase this setup is in the near future. I've had the pleasure of watching the development of this project from idea to current status. The amount of time and effort into this setup is mind boggling. Unfortunately running your own business and raising a family has had priority over building this project so those that have followed since the beginning have their doubts.

Once his car is running and any issues that may arise are perfected, this setup will be available. No idea on price at this point. Guys that are interested should be very excited since this has never been done before and the cnc parts he has custom designed and built are works of art.

And stop calling Whipple a roots blower, its a Twin Screw!

A few were put together using Eatons from the Lightning. Keith Mease made them, apparently he was an awesome fabricator but not a great business man and he fell out of favor with the b-body community FAST. He made a twin turbo kit for the b-bodies too.

Awesome work! I'd def. be intrested in buying this once it's out..maybe have a version with an aluminum or plastic (like k&n cai material) elbow for those that want to save a little bit of cash.

Keith Mease...didn't he go to jail after screwing a bunch of Buick guys? If I'm thinking of the same guy. Great fabricator but was terrible at everything else.

I hope this project turns out well and maybe you can make a bit of money with the finished product and add another piece of performance to the mostly neglected LT1 community

I really like this but i wonder how comparable it will be to a pro charger as far as price and potential power.
