I don't think it would be RELATIVELY difficult to get a centrifual s/c hooked up to an LT5 :confused: I'd really like to see that actually. Just need to make space and provide custom tubing like anything else.

SurfnSun, if you remember i base that post on info my import friends told me about turbos (skylines and other import cars).
That quote is ture 4 v6 and 4 but not 4 v8, i made a mistake and took it back.
Im still new in the "WHOLE CAR" scene so im tring to learn as i go alone.

If your just looking for some new power, then you could always opt for some new High FLow Heads and you could change out the Intake for a stealth Ram or Something else if you have a 85-91 Corvette. 92+ I'm pretty sure higher flowing heads come for 2K. :crazy:
If your looking for a Supercharger for your C4, then you will be better off with a Centrifugal SC instead of a Roots type.

Soulja -
I'll through my 2 cents worth in here. Just a few comments:
1) There is a HUGE difference between a "Roots" type blower and a twin screw blower. The twin screw blower compresses the air between the screws (like squeezing it in your hand) and a Roots blower pressurizes the entire manifold with rotary vanes (like pointing a fan into a trash can).
2) There are some pretty cool twin screw S/C units specifically for Corvettes. Check these out...

Notice that you don't have to punch a hole in your hood unless you want to. Superchargersonline.com is a good place to start. You can compare all the various types there.
On Thursday, I got an engine builder started on a new 406, and I will be putting a Whipple hot-rod kit on top. It should be a lot better than my old, tired, 350!
Good luck...
