Regardless, the only Twin Screws able to suport the power he's looking to make are the 2.2L Kenne Bell, or the Whipple 2300AX. Both of which will easily double his $5,000.00 budget before he see's the numbers he looking for. A Novi 2000 on the other hand, will suport the kind of power he's looking for (even with the RPM limit of the stroker motor) and still be able to do it $3,000-$4,000 cheaper than either of the big Twin Screws in the process.TGJ said:

. I've already priced them out. The KB Blowzilla is only $6100. the supporting cast of stuff that i will need is going to be a pain in the @ss though. A Cobra R hood, Cobra fuel tank (may not need), two 255 fuel pumps and the list goes on. I don't know if i have the patience to be nickeled and dimed to death after spending that kind of cash. That's kinda why I was looking at centrifugal, cheaper and a full package all at once while still giving me the power i want at the strip and still streetable with the power curve. I may be just pipe dreaming about 600rwhp. I would really like to get there, just don't know if it's possible right now. I may have to wait on the ported heads for a later time. I'll see what happens as the build progresses. I don't think I'll have enough until early Spring/Summer. I just want to get a plan of action so I don't go down the wrong road. I've already done that twice with the PI heads on 96 block = not boost friendly and buying the NA VT Stage 2 cams. I'm too damn impulsive sometimes and it costs me. I want to be smarter this time. Thats why I'm consulting you Stangnet experts.TGJ said:

Those old 4V castings even un-ported will support enough air for your requirements and between the wreckers and Ebay shouldn't kill your budget. Not to mention you could always sell off your PI heads/VT cams and springs for a healthy amount to recoup a lot of the cost.
I bought an entire '93 Mark VIII for $500.00 Canadian. As soon as I start itching for another project, you can be sure that I'll be using its 4V as my foundation.
As a matter of fact, I was checking out what ATI had to offer the other day and some of their self contained intercooled units looked pretty tempting for the money. That might be another avenue to consider.
