Default A supercharger question

hey folks. I need some help with a question.
I have a l92 Stroker motor from Texas Speed. It has L92 heads. I would like to buy a supercharger but I have heard that no one makes one that will bolt to my heads. A fellow on here has a relatively new Magnusson for sale, but niether of us know if it will work on my engine. Does anyone know if it will, and if not, if there any modifications that could be done to allow it to work? Is there another make or model out there that would work if this one will not?
I appreciate your help

Just change the heads to some 317s. Problem solved, and you'll get money in your pocket.

I think the ECS or A&A centrifigals have the correct brackets that will bolt right up.

He's talking roots. Not centrifugal. So the problem is the shape of the intake ports on the heads don't match the intake ports on the blower.

I was trying to save him some money. A new hood and paint cost a lot of money, add to that all of the other parts costs to swap out the heads and the centrigifgal is a better deal.

I use to have a maggie, but I prefer a more docile ride around town so I'm going either turbo or centrifigal.

Yes, the LS3 (L92 / L76) have different ports then the LS1/LS2/LS6.

That's why everybody who has LS3 (stock Configuration) is waiting for someone to develop an after-market intake.

The lure of the LS3 is the cheap high flow heads. I have a LS3 416 combo and I'm hoping someone comes with a better manifold. Maybe FAST will make one.

Yeah I hope so. I'm still not impressed by the heads. Had a friend with his L92/L76 setup on his 408. My 408 had Livernois 243s and LS6 intake. Same power. Same NA times. Not impressive.

Lots of hype over on ls1tech about Weiand Manifold and the LS3 prototype that is suppose to be coming ? Not sure if it is ever going to happen.

thanks people. I have been hounding Holly. In the Spring they were talking about a new Street Warrior intake that will have a polished version that will bolt to the L92's. It was supposed to be available in July, then late August. The last time I spoke to their technical group they were telling that there were some problems and it was being delayed and going back into production.

I'm not sure why they would make an aluminum intake as they are prone to heat soak.

I thought they would be made out of plastic (polymer) like the factory one's ??
