Should I say yes to the Blow Job? Not to be confused with "Should I hit it or quit it

Also, the block itself is an issue as the cylinder walls are not all that conducive for a blown application.

And lastly, the car itself is being built as a hybrid street/road racer and the blower wouldn't really help in that application either so why do it?

BECAUSE IT LOOKS SO DAMN COOL IN THERE!

The LS7 block can hold FI very well, just not into insane boost just as the other LSx blocks. The issue is in the cast piston and wrist pins. You would get into lifting the heads and breaking the o-ring seals before risking the block IMO.

Having said that, here is your solution, and relatively cheap to boot.
