No, nothing else mentioned about the camshaft or any spring/pushrod upgrades. The article focused on the supercharger/intake and keeping it cool. The article hinted there would be more information on Mallett's website including upgrades you could piece together, I don't see anything on their site yet...

I built my engine for that blower after toasting mine, but didn't want to wait. Kenny Duttweiler built a 434 with the same MP2300 blower on top and made 950hp on comparable boost to the Mallett package. I have no regrets going Centri though.

One word.....Lingenfelter...
You call....they ask "how fast you wanna go, how much money you got?"

And I would consider them to be overpriced....but I think the complete package @ 40K would still be cheaper than a complete engine @ 20k plus driveline...@ who knows how much...then installation.

"What's your budget?" Then tell you how fast you are going to go followed by:
"Now, if you had X$$ more in your budget we could make you go XX faster"

I thought GM wasn't going to offer the LS9 as a separately purchaseable item. Last I looked, that was the case, it may have changed.
So isn't the LS9 just an LS3 with an Eaton on top? I don't buy the whole extras it comes with. Sounds like justification for the price.
8k and out the door from ECS and you have 550 RWHP. That's the route I'm going.
