I was thinking of going to supercharger for my next project because there was no turbo kit with real power for the C4. I had decided that I needed a F2 supercharger but mounting it and keeping from cutting the hood seems to be a problem. Now with the possiblity of ICEVETT dual system, my only question is would dual 67mm turbo be small for a 454. Time for more research.
If it is a 6500-7000rpm race motor than 67's would probably be all out if you desired more than 19-20psi but that would be close to 1400-1500rwhp. I guess throw out some more information and lets discuss it.
Also, have you already built the 454? and is it sbc based or BB?

Twin 67's sized for a 454 is completely dependent on the engine setup. For instance if it is more of a low rpm 5000-6000 rpm motor 67's would be fine maybe even a little laggy depending on the turbine housing.
If it is a 6500-7000rpm race motor than 67's would probably be all out if you desired more than 19-20psi but that would be close to 1400-1500rwhp. I guess throw out some more information and lets discuss it.

Or on second thought, He would probably say it needs this.

I did think about getting a radiator built with an opening somehow so I could fit the blower right on the crank, then put a smaller fan on each half. It would really be interesting to see the look on people faces when I open the hood.

[QUOTE=bill mcdonald;1578639759]Since we hi-jacked this thread, I think it's time for fun with pictures.
front mount turbos/superchargers. and split radiators.
Nice!!
Turbo would Hang way too close to ground, This was the first idea that I looked at.
Your not playing nice

is this for an all out drag car? if so that is a complete game changer.. is AC required? Power steering? lets have some more information. and also what was the power goal you had in mind. 67mm turbos on that motor would be plenty fine for some really big power but if you are trying to hit the 1800+ range for a 275 outlaw or 10.5 outlaw class then thats a whole different story. Look forward to hearing some more information!

for a fun street car, the 67's would be the hot ticket!

Nice setups, though most of those look they were built from the ground up.
Laying the radiator down is an option on a street car.
Seen it done, nice pics though
