HOLY CRAP. I have always wanted a roots blower setup for the ole LT1, but never thought it possible. How much power are you making on 7lbs. ?

I didn't say you didn't Keith Mease designed a roots blower intake manifold for the LT1 a few years ago. I think he sold 3-4 kits before he dropped the project to concentrate on his Twin Turbo stuff.

Just wondering but wont the small volume of the sheetmetal intake between the tb and blower really restrict the power up top? I saw pictures of your build on another forum quite a while ago and was just curious about that.

Sweet setup either way.

Doesn't seem too, it's bigger than you think. I had it at 9 lbs one time and it put out 9lbs all the way to redline no problem.

It spins quite a bit in 1st and 2nd. Gotta get the MT's on it and see how it feels with better traction.
