blower and tpi

I have been reading like a madman on this site! Great info to be found here. One thing I can't find is whether someone has ever installed a roots style blower under a tpi. Theoretically I dont see why you couldn't do this. If you were to remove the runner and just machine a hole in the bottom to mate up to the blower, then you could modify an intake manifold to accept the injectors. Any seasoned vets around here who think I've lossed my mind?

Incindently I ask this because I am gathering parts for my 383 stroker winter build now and am considering going in the blower direction

It is not easy to adapt a TPI base to a roots style blower. It would prabably be easyer to build an all custom intake.
Mofifying the TPI plenum and use that to feed the blower is doable.

You would need a plate between the blower and heads to utilize multi port, if not you would just be injecting them all into the blower, might as well get a tbi and drop it on the blower, twin tbi's on a 6-71 blower would be sweet

Just found this:

CONVERT YOUR BDS, LITTLEFIELD, PSI, BLOWER SHOP OR ANY ROOTS STYLE BLOWER TO PORT FUEL INJECTION WITH THE NEW BOOSTPOWER EFI MANIFOLD INTERCOOLER. THIS KIT COMES COMPLETE WITH ALL HARDWARE TO INSTALL. (ELECTRONICS SOLD SEP)



Bit pricey at $5,800

what about a SR setup top?? the stealthram is base on a dual carb setup and some blowers are for dual carbs. think it could work with some work. i think it would be possible just have to find a way to install the injectors and fuel rails. And if you have the C950 you can tune in Alpha mode. my 2 cents
