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.

Lots of them .

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

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.

There is one company that makes adapter plates to run an LSA or LS9 supercharger on the LS7. I think it might run any one that fits LS3 style heads.
