ProCharger F3A. Good for 2200+ HP. May require radiator modification and/or relocation.

If you can figure out where to put it, I'm sure it will modify/relocate the rest of the drivetrain for you...

If you used a stock bottom end you could just remove the rad entirely. It wouldn't live long enough to get hot anyway.

I believe ProCharger is making an F4 now. It's flows small block chevy compatible air.

it was just generally unhappy... ended up putting a pulley the size of a PS pump pulley on it to slow it way down, but it was still trying to grind the tires into the pavement at idle when it wasn't moving. It was actually spinning the tires at idle with a minispare on the back...
