But I do think that the singles are being maxed out.

Oh no doubt it will cost a lot, but doesn't everything when you're trying to make big #'s.

I'm possitive a big turbo or a big centrifi would be more efficient. But I don't think that's their goal. They want 4 digit tq numbers down low, like around 2000rpm. A big *** turbo or centrifi won't/can't provide that.

As for dual throttle bodies, it can be made to work. Vipers have 2 from the factory. And drag cars and dyno queens don't use cruise control anyway.

I think some folks are missing the big picture here, as Vanillia G has mentioned this is a Magna Charger/ Crash Dummy Racing / BlownChevy project. We are building a race truck to go out and run next year this manifold will be a one off for the LSx motor. As for it not working, it will and it does, been there have the shirt....remember we/I build superchargers for vehicles here, this is what we/I do!

Hey B, when's the projected completion date, so I can sleep at night? And that **** better stick through the hood!

For those skeptics, there was a mild Buick 455 with twin old school roots blowers that put 700hp/tq to the ground. It was a very streetable build and it worked quite well. It also lacked the modern head technology of the LSx.

Get 'er done!

Pfaff racing uses quad rotor Whipples on alot of motors in boats. Mercruiser does too.

Those are just georgous, even if they do wind up not outperforming a turbo. I have faith in you BlownChevy.
