Jason you have more than enough motor to entertain any FI application. A wicked Pro charger would be cool, but twins running a 10.xx in an ECSB in full street trim is pretty sick too.

Prochargers are the **** !!... But there is less info and almost a worse rap then rear mounts..... but fact its there are 2-3 people that have been in the 10s with out of the box kits.. And thats 10s with small cubic inch heads/cam motors .. no huge exotic parts... no hastle with belts anymore.. the bad wrap is from there "kit" having small POS BOV's that would hang up and cause problems... all of that is gone..... I like them alot and been working with two of them myself....... Results to come soon

If you're talking about the ones on page 4, they are centrifugal superchargers, not turbos.

Badass setup for sure

Iv'e driven a couple procharged vehicles, and the power delivery is SUPER SMOOTH, Works well for vettes that do more than just go strait.

You can mount turbos and centrifugal superchargers anywhere you have space as long as you do all the plumbing and make brackets. However, roots blowers have to go on top.

True. It all depends on the setup. But ideally, they sit on top. Thanks for clearing that up.

Now I'm assuming that the procharger LSX Transplant kit that he's using will only fit on an 6.0 block and not a 4.8/5.3 block correct?
