help me select a
My forged 370 is at the machine shop and I'm ready to start collecting parts for the build. I've decided on the new F1-D but the rest of the system is where I'm undecided. A&A corvette has a nice setup but I don't want to run a YSI. Who makes a complete 8 rib kit thats refined for performance. Meaning front mount intercooler and the shortest pipe routing, you get the point. Arun's blue vet setup looks sick, does he or his company offer what I'm looking for ?? I think pieceing this thing together would cost more than an entire kit. But not 100% convinced of that.
Thanks in advance..

If you're going to run a F1-D, you need to get an A&A bracket from Arun and then get him to work some magic on it and set it up for 10-rib and flip drive. No way I would do any less. He can take care of you on everything you need.

I am thinking about the flip drive set up to be less trouble on some of the the parts that dont need it.
Arun knows his vettes for sure.

I just found some info;
New ProCharger F-1D supercharger
Show for the first time at SEMA, the new F-1D self-contained supercharger model was also on display for the power-hungry racers. Designed as more streetable F-Series supercharger, the F-1D provides better boost response in high horsepower street applications than the more competition oriented F-1C and F-1R models.
Rated at 1,000 hp, the F-1D utilizes a 9-inch volute, self-contained F-Series transmission, 5.40:1 step-up ratio and provides 1,500 CFM of airflow at 38 PSI max and a maximum impeller speed of 65,000 RPM.
Here is some info on it, and the F-1D is the same price as the F-1 and F-1A.

Just your typical iron 370, 9.5 CR, CNCed 317's, LS6 manifold. The magic is in the block, double o-ringed, 1/2" head studs. So I'm thinking I will be able to really beat on this thing.
My buddy has the same block work done, only he sprays his instead of a blower. He's 13.5 CR and sprays a plate and a fogger for a total of about 500HP worth of spray. I have no idea what his cylinder pressures are but hes never pushed water or lifted a head. So I'm feeling pretty confident about turning up the boost with the good gas in it.
