I hope so too. More options, the better. Thanks for the hard work

Yes, they said for sure new hood. I saw similar design twin screw in their shop, probably for a Mustang or Camero (I'm assuming b/c it was sitting on the floor next to a Camero) looks tall, I can't imagine it fitting without a hood change

I wouldn't think twice about getting a new hood to fit that monster under there!

What kind of power would we be talking if they were doing a twin screw design?

I think they will be shooting for the same peak output as what they would have done with the centrifugal unit, but the twin screw will develop more low end torque. Probably in the range of 425-450whp - 360-380tq for a reliable street unit with the stock block, etc. Here is a couple of pics of unit (not a Z)

i'll stick with the GTM and no hood mods. but it would look cool. will be interesting to see what they do with the hood.

shumby · 10-17-2009, 07:55 AM

why though when the GTM will require no mods and the same power?

Better low-end with a twin-screw over a centrifugal SC, perhaps?

Twin screws are sweet! Mostly because of the low end torque.

shumby · 10-17-2009, 11:53 AM

ya that is true. but i just want mine to look stockish from the out side. but the screws will look mean as hell with a nice after marken CF hood.

No, nothing yet, I'll try getting a hold of them this next week, hopefully they haven't abandoned the idea completely.
