Paxton and votrech merged a year or two ago. They did retain their sepatate product lines though.

Twin screws are crap. They are limited to the amount of boost they can make, are hell on clearances for everything. I know the snout doesnt clear a stock distributor. You cant intercool them, they generate far more heat, and they suck at high rpm. Centrifugal superchargers are more efficient, allow customizing of plumbing to suit all applications, easily doable with an intecooler, can clear everything, and generate more power anywhere you want depending on pulley.

Tell that to the 03 Kenne Bell Cobra that made 617 RWHP with just the swap and a new pulley that made 20 psi. And they dont have any psi drop off.

So if you run an SC-trim, and add a PowerPipe and 7" crank pulley, and u achieve 9-11 lbs of boost, would that be a bad idea for a stock motor? Should u only add a powerpipe and pulley on a h/c/i motor? Can the stock 5.0 handle more than 5-6 lbs of boost?

Not a problem man. Yes it does look like a power house, you should see it without the hood on. I cant link the picture becuase it changes when you put your mouse over it. So go to www.bigblockfox.com and scroll down the page and you should see it.

I bought an A-trim off RICK91GTs dad and I'm pretty sure he said he put down like 450 to the wheels and ran low 11s which doesn't sound too bad for an entry level blower

I don't even car how it performs. It would be hella-cool to have something called "blowzilla" under the hood.
