Looking for more info on an engine like this one..... I think I have my Hemi sold and I could start fresh with something different.... So post your pro-street Gen 3 Hemi engines, cause I am shopping. Not saying I will go that route over an all aluminum big cube Hemi NA, but I am kinda in between wanting a boosted Gen 3 Hemi or a big aluminum Gen 2 Hemi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBf8554uj0Y

Very cool stuff, but in this day and age, why not a Whipple in lieu of the roots???
A screw is just as easy to install, can be used with carbs, or EFI and is better by leaps and bounds in every conceivable way. The only downside is a higher initial cost over the roots, but in the long run, there is zero comparison in blower technology.
Power, maintenance and appearance are light-years ahead.

Called Whipple and the 510 is $7400 without anything, no snout or top plate, and when I asked who reps them for the 510 so I can get the correct snout and pulleys, they didn't have an answer.. So yes they make blowers, but good luck with any service or assembly help...Calling BDS for help with my Whipple really seems kinda stupid to me.

you could try this company aswell,not sure what they have and not but it wont cost anything to ask. screws are way better than roots.

Give the guys at Arrington Performance a call or at least look at their web site... They have been putting screw type blowers on Gen 3 hemis for some time now... they are now a Whipple dealer... I know they will install, or ship you all the parts you need and still support what they sell... www.shophemi.com
