It can be a 'project' truck for R&D purposes.
I'm joking mostly BTW, before I get slammed again. Well, about the free part. The bigger blower would be nice to be able to bolt directly up to the RADIX base. I'd also be more than happy to give some 'real world testing' info on it though if there was any to be doing.

The modified twin screw blower the Aussies at Starr Performance are using has two displacements - 2.3L and 3.3L. The 2.3L is good for up to 650HP, the 3.3L unit is good for 1,000HP. They have a 406 ci truck running the 3.3L unit putting 750HP the the wheels...
And if you have $9,800 US, it can be all yours.

David, that would be slick .. expensive, but slick.
NAV, that's a Whipple unit they are using down under. The 2.3L blower is the standard WHipple, but the 3.3 is the bad boy they call a 3300ax I think.

If Whipple or KB were smart, they would make one that would bolt right up. Just like the KB unit the L's are using. I don't think Magna has caught on to the "all out" performance thing yet, but that could change, I guess.
That option would have cost me a lot less than a complete turbo system.

I've thought about that a lot to be honest. If the M112 and the MP112 are the same blower castings, then it 'should' fit. WIth my battery relocated, I would be able to use a L style airbox on the left front fender instead of the right. That would make PERFECT room for that Blowzilla, and it would still be intercooled.
If I could take that intake tube off the back of the RADIX and put it on the Blowzilla, that would be even better as well. Then it would just be swapping the blower core out, but that would leave belt allignment to be a problem. Trying to move the pulley on snout on the blower would be almost impossible though.

Whitt was going to try and get the big Whipple blower on his, but I haven't heard anything from him in a while about it. I'm wondering if he lost interest.
