BEST blower system for the ls

[Sheck44]

Thanks Vince, yes one of the main reasons I wanted the E for the LS7, I want the engine bay to be as clean looking as possible. Car is actually at the shop installing that engine right now, I will post some pics when she's complete. I can't wait to see how she looks with the covers ...

Cheers
Steve

It'll boil down to the power curve you want the blower to deliver really...

What do you want?

If you want instant and a flat torque curve , I'd go with a PD blower and a twin screw design. Otherwise, I'd go with a centri and look into Prochargers.

I have a radial entry Whipple on a 427CI GM LSX with Air Flow heads. I wanted the old school look, high tech blower, EFI and more HP than I knew what to do with.

I got it. Ignore the 2x4 holding up the hood at my body shop. I am redoing the paint...

Do you have a pic of the engine installed with the hood closed? I love the rims, too

With LS3 heads you can use the ZL1 take offs for about 1/2 the cost of the others mentioned.

I have a 10 Camaro with the eforce, runs pretty dam good. I also have a 69 that I am building with a lysholm 3300 that I purchased from Wegner Motorsports, I have Wegner front drive as well. You could call and ask for Casey, I would think whipple setup for the 10 Camaro with throttle body straight out the front would be nice and a C&R racing heat exchanger. Good luck

For 700hp anything will work. But for big power in a street car, it's hard to beat a Vortech YSi with a good air-to-air intercooler and meth. It's a good streetable blower that will make almost 1,000 rwhp when pullied down. But having said that, I've never seen a centri setup I would use on a road course.

Lots of them .

RIght now, I am working on a new blower scoop base, so I can level it out.

Damn. Looks good

[DavidBoren]

With a modest goal of 700hp... By the way, we live in an awesome era where 700hp isn't considered extreme anymore... But any of the blowers listed will get you to your goal. I would ask around and see which one will provide the best efficiency for your application.

I, personally, try to size the blower size to as close to half of the engine displacement as possible. Big blowers do not have to spin as fast and generally create less heat.

I don't know if it will work but may give you some ideas. Here is what I ran on my Nova (with a carburetor).
This is a scoop out of New Zealand the carburetor fits inside the scoop.
