Roots blower delema.....

So every time I call someone for advice on which roots blower for a 528 Hemi, the recommendations get more expensive and bigger. So like most on here, I do not have an unlimited budget. In fact, I am not even sure its adequate, but that just part of the game I guess.

So I figured a 528 Hemi to keep it as small as possible with a 4.5 bore block. Was thinking of doing an 8-71, maybe a 10-71 and twin throttle body sniper.....

Well that escalated to a full blown Holley Dominator system and two sets of injectors with a bird catcher...Not cheap...But one of the things I want to do is a 5 gallon front mounted tank on E85 and rear fuel cell on 93 and switch pulleys for race or street.

And the other thing is the recommended blower keeps getting bigger....The guy at Alky Digger recommended a 14-71...I was like wow! No way that will clear the cowl and the windshield..

If I had the budget I wanted, I would put a Whipple 8.3L on it, but those are $9100 just for the squirrel box.

So what does Moparts crowd recommend for a street/ strip blower? Cause if this keeps up, I might just do NA for now with 9:1 compression and the blower cam in it.

This is a picture of the previous owners 472 Hemi with a 6-71 on it.....Note how tight to the windshield it is. I am going to move the engine forward some before I am done.
