Richard are your packaging issues with the blower of the "project" engine the fact that it the blower needs to be too large in diameter or too long in length? If it just needs to be longer, how about doing a side exit similar to the inlet layout?

The "big" problem stems from wanting to run it at Bonniville which is 4300 Ft Elv.
That's about a 15% loss. To make up for that I'd like another stage. That makes the unit .700 longer. There isn't enough room there now to make the turn.
Also since this is competition and we can run 100+ fuel I'd like to see 52-55 in hg absolute.
But that much pressure will want for an aftercooler and there is even less room for that.
I do have both problems solved, in my head anyway.

This thread is now 2 years old. I've read parts of the thread, but don't have the time to read all of it.
Any chance you can edit your first post with updates? That would keep everyone in the loop.
I'm interested in hearing how this is coming along, if the target price from 2004 still stands, and an ETA on it's release.
Thanks

Go ahead but there are some wrong statments in there. The main one is that there is no supercharger on that engine. That engine was only fot testing the car. The real engine was over 700 HP and has been seen on this thread before. It is the one on the engine stand with the Sc and one GM T/B and one side open without the T/B. The engine in the car is still built from very good parts. It has full dry sump, Summers Bros gear drive and main caps. NASCAR rods, Brodex heads, and all the rest of the good parts.
I put the gear drive in it to give it a Euro sound.
The car is geared for 200 MPH at 7600RPM
For me to drive the car I had to take the car cover and fold it up to sit on.

Add the axial flow supercharger and he could have hit 30K easy.
