Default Supercharged 4.8 can make 500whp?

Since i do not have room to fit a decent turbo setup in my bagged silverado, i have decided to look into a supercharger setup. I would like to go Whipple or a Maggie, but prefer the Whipple.

Id like to run 91 or e85 and still maintain the same power levels. E85 is easy to come by where i live, but not always to find at some of the car shows i go to.

2.3l whipple on about 10 to 15 psi would do it i would think? Isky triple cam or is there a better blower cam? Is my flex pump enough or should i swap it? 32" tire with a 3.73 gear. What stall converter?

Sorry for all the questions, but im completely new to blowers.

e85 and 12-13lbs of boost would be around 500hp

if you ran 12-13lbs of boost with 91 you would need to add meth to get 500hp

isky triple is mainly for turbo setups, i would get a spec'd cam for your setup

2800rpm stall

Trasmission????
