That "heat soak" issue you mention certainly hasn't played out in the last few Corvettes and Cadillacs that are running factory roots style blowers.

It sounds like I might end up going turbo after all. Those other style chargers introduce a decent amount of heat/soak issues due to their placement for the style driving I do, sounds great for 1/4 mile though but I don't do that except for fun with friends. I'm for sure not chasing any 1/4 numbers though I'd much rather spend my time on the street and road courses.
Sounds like for what I want I do just need to go ahead with an LSX style swap and well my built 350/tranny.
Good info! I'll look more into the comparison of procharger vs turbo setup now.
I've very familiar with what would need to be done to the motor, especially for the type of driving and power, but had no clue of that ProCharger and the way it reacts. We'll see if I decide to built the motor or not for whatever I decide. After this research I'd been thinking of doing everything else, other than the motor, first. Mini-tubs, front and rear subframes etc. Decisions decisions!!
Thanks!
