the only supercharger i know of that will make 50 lbs of boost is the one's for the funnycars and the rails, it has a 7 to 8 inches more to the length then a 871 B&M. i know the blades in that puppy has got to be at least 16 to 18 inches long. and it is made only for a big block.

Sometimes those ricers calculate boost by taking atmospheric pressure at ~30 #/sq. in. and then add the 20 # of boost to get 50 # total. (which is the way it's done in an aircraft)
