Well, since the question was asked of me......
yes, we have thought about it, however to develop and tool a manifold is very expensive and they have canceled the 8.1L. HOWEVER, if you buy a nice blower manifold you COULD bolt a TVS 2300 right on it with some work.
Why dont you try a TVS on your set up?

Since I have a little "lysholm" experience. that 3.3 liter blower posted makes that magna look like a toy sorry. Now me personally. If I buy a blower based solely on tech support then I am worrying about the wrong end of buying the blower in the first place. I shouldn't need tech support. Hell Wtf does a blower do. Force more air into a motor. If i remember correctly since Whipple doesn't get blowers from lysholm anymore. And they now make there own ( correct me if I am wrong ) They still use the plastic coupler. Its a safety feature and saves you from ruining thousands of dollars. Instead you replace the coupler and go about your business. But if you were properly maintaining it to begin with then you wouldn't of had an issue with said coupler. And as a few people stated (very few ) the Whipple is a more efficient product. The blower that is. Now on there kits. The few "kits" I have seen are marginal. I don't believe in forcing air thru an intake originally designed to be naturally aspirated. But the kits that i have seen from them Uses that method 
And just to give you an Idea. I have put of few of these on...

That thing looks bad ***.
I think Lysholm refers to the type or design of the internal A & B rotors. The original Whipples were an Opcom compressor from Autorotor, which was a Swedish producer of their compressor, and it is a different design than a roots style. I know Kenne Bell used them for a while latter but I don't know if that is still the case for Kenne Bell. From all the research I did back when I had a Whipple on my last FI truck the Lysholm compressors have a higher adiabatic efficiency, which translates to less heating of the compressed air. I'm pretty sure Eaton makes the compressors for Whipple now with a slightly less degree of rotation in the rotors to avoid patent infringement. If only Whipple had a clue about how much people matter to their success like other companies.

That is a monster, but the majority of the GM market is in small block V8's. That is excessive for a small block V8. If you were going to use a blower that big your goal would be 15psi or higher which is where you might as well just go to turbo. What have you seen for performance numbers out of that 500
+ cubes with a 3.3L blower?

you are correct. basically everything is made in-house now. ive seen it and its pretty neat to watch. ive been BEGGING them for years to make a ic-kit for our trucks and art is finally starting to listen. you just may see one under my hood soon....

What!! After all the BS back and forth with them and they never mentioned having a manifold for my setup? They can be hard to deal with but I cant believe with all the Emails I have sent them asking which blower would work on my setup and they never mentioned a manifold mount. Unreal......is it a marine manifold and does it matter? Maybe its a clearance issue with the hood?
