What you? Naaaaahhhh!I got something up my sleeveDoesn't include boost.
what about this matt
- 9.0:1 compression
- 5.0 block
- cp pistons
- kellog or terminator crank
- comp stage 2 cams, with valve springs and retainers
- roots blower with 2.6 pulley + 12% overdrive crank pulley = 16-18 psi
- shaftmasters 1 piece driveshaft
this setup is good for 650+ rwhp
lol but you wont tho huh....lol

Scratch that roots and go with a turbo

trying to spool up 700 whp on a turbo on the street would be hard.
Bullshit.
well trying to put down 700 hp is hard enough to get the right suspension, and then the tires, and then the turbo spooling up and snap 700 hp on the street? not easy.
i have traction issues with 500+ hp, nevermind 600-700.
Or you could make more power with your setup on less boost with turbos, and have a better powerband especially with a good twin turbo setup. Also with turbo's you can easily regulate boost per gear choice as well.....that and with a lot less gear....3.31's no problem.
For a guy like Matt he needs throttle response so 5.0 4V with Livernois Stage 3's and 11:1 CR utilizing DI bosses for secondary fuel system. Should make well over 800 rwhp on pump with race gas / E85 on demand for insurance.
why? lol a ported kenne bell would probably make more, up around the 700+ rwhp area.
roots provides instant power and boost, i dont like to spool, i drive mine on the street LOL

me either. turbos are harder on engines. the way boost builds progressively with a blower is better imho.i like n/a or blower, never been a fan of turbo.

How would it be hard? With the right size turbo and the right gears the turbo will spool up easily. Ya if you had a 92mm turbo with 3.73's it would be shit lol. And porting a kenne bell is gay, just get a 2.8L Mammonth and get a smaller pulley and lower pulley, you could see 700+ with the right setup.
i think the procharger is really the best of both worlds.
