Nobody makes an LT1 roots style blower kit. Not for the Corvette or the Camaro or the Caprice.

You can make a custom one though if you have the fab skills. But for the work you might be better off putting a centrifigal blower on there(vortech or procharger).

the magnuson/eaton blower is a roots style blower. Magnusen DOES makes an intake manifold to adapt the MP112 to a Lt-x engine. the problem is that they do not offer any sort of engine management or fuel management components. you are on your own with that.


If you look up the threads here on the FI forum, you will find that I asked and than researched this vary topic.

There is a guy named Cornel that has already made an intake manifold for the LT-x engine to accept the MP112 as well. he is currently working on the whipple 140ax.

I have also been told that Alvin from PCM4less.com has also done a roots style F-body, but he eventually sold that combo and went centrifugal.

Here's roots on a C4


Magnacharger actually made a kit for GenI smallblocks using their twin blower setup, but it's been years since they made one.

briancunningham- any more pix of the dual blower setup? Was that on a c4? it looks like it must have been converted to carb (none-fi).

Yes, an 84 if I recall.
It was a kit with sidedraft carbs.

Here's one on a different car.

This showcar is not my cup of tea, but he did get a roots blower on it.

Must have cut the frame in the process

For Gen I engines, yes

It won't fit under the hood though.
