Default Can a Radix supercharger be ported?

I try to keep up with what the Ford Lightning guys are doing with their setups.The latest thing I'm seeing is ported Eaton superchargers with a claimed 50rwhp increase.Is this something a Radix user could do to increase hp potential.A 50rwhp increase could be worth investigating.

I asked Unit213 about how much power the 03 Cobras were making with the Eaton 112 and he said the highest he's seen was 520rwhp on a ported 112. I think after 500rwhp or so most of those guys swap to a bigger blower.

Hey,520rwhp is pretty serious.I'm thinking with the breathing potential of LS1 heads,maybe a well setup Radix could make 550 or so rwhp.I'm wondering how M112 lightning supercharger porting differs from a Radix M112.

Porting eatons is nothing new and there is a lot of hp through lower charge temps to be had from it.

BlownChevy can Magusen provide ported Radix M112s?Or can they put you in touch with someone qualified to do the porting?
