That's going to be an AWESOME crate motor!

Just think what it will be after some Katech tuning....

It's going to have to be at least 650hp if they are going to stay on top of the new horsepower war, right?

Wow indeed. They certainly have managed to make the total package very low-profile (height).

"...stay on top...??" First of all they have to GET on top. '08 Vipers ROCK!!!!

Hey Scott,

Don't you start thinking about that, you are almost done with your car. We don't want to see another change that will delay it even more.

But it will be a great motor for a '69 Camaro or even in a COPO 5th gen

The guy who wrote the article must have it wrong.

First who mounts a supercharger below the intercooler on a V8?

Secondly it looks like a ProCharger type blower in front of the left side cylinder head.

it looks like they have done some fun things with the air flow. it goes into the supercharger then UP through the IC then out the sides to the heads. VERY cool!
