Blower for LT1?

Does anyone manufacture a blower to take the place of the intake on an LT1? instead of the supercharger option? I relly like lingenfelters LS1 kit but I have an LT1 !

I think you'll be out of luck on this search. I know Whipple researched it, but nothing came of it.

How are you distinguishing the difference between a BLOWER and a SUPERCHARGER? Do you mean whipple or roots versus centrifugal?

There are scores of centrifugal blowers available. I like my ATI.

He said he wanted a blower "to replace the intake manifold". Since centrifugals don't do that, I assume he is referring to a roots supercharger, which Whipple makes and was the only one working on an LT1 version to my knowledge.

>Why would you want a Roots style supercharger ?
I don't see anyway to make it fit under the hood . If you want a lot of boost , then you could always go the way of a YS-trim or even larger like a X or XX-trim (but expect custom fabrication for the latter two) .
I have a T-trim and there is no problem with the hood closing .
