You'll probably need to look at things like compression/cam specs/ignition etc before you just bolt a blower on. A genuine 550hp small block is a pretty stout piece, so I bet you'll need to make some changes. I'm using a YS Vortech on my 398 Windsor, and I'm happy with it.

The plastic one has only had a "toe in the water" run at Willowbank. I had two runs in full street trim. It ran 11.1 @ 130mph. I just eased it down the track - the datalogging showed that I hit full throttle about 1 second before the finish line... I'm lining up some sticky tyres, so we'll see what happens. I'll be disappointed if I can't run 140+
