LT1 w/ Eaton M112 supercharged!

I was on another forum that I am on regularly and this man posted up a link to his builds site. I followed the link and looked at it, THIS IS AWESOME! I have ALWAYS wanted to see a LT1 with a roots style blower.

Here's the link: http://www.corneltechweb.com/

Anyone have any ideas on how to go about doing something along these lines? Or if there's any other system out there that is similar to this.

His video is awesome...granted just a fly by...but that's awesome!

Seems to me the "chip" guy at pcmforless did one on his f-body and Mease Performance did a kit for the b-body, both roots style blowers. The Mease kit I believe used one off a Lightning.

I know that Alvin at PCM4Less used to have a T-Trim on his Formula, but I didn't know that someone had a roots style...this is so awesome...

kennebell and whipple are extremely expensive opposed to an eaton blower. He probably just wanted to experiment without wasting a fortune, and boy was he successful

I am working on a Kenne bell, an older system. I like the idler on the alt bracket to keep from adding another pulley to the front. If hood clearance is not an issue, since he cut down an lt intake. Why not split the intake and take the top half, add a divider in it to bring the air out to an inner cooler and back to the lower half as cooled air. Sounds like a lot of work, but this has got me thinking.

thats a cool setup.. it would be badass to have an M90 or M112 under the hood of my T/A as kind of a tribute to my old car, a 1993 thunderbird SC... the engine looked like this
