I'd most definitely overdrive it with a jackshaft so you've got more options for final gearing and go with the biggest cooler you can shoehorn under it... I don't see why it wouldn't be able to fill up an 8.1 with the right combo of pulleys and an 8 rib setup at minimum, I'd say 10 rib ideally...

Why not do a turbo set up? I am sure that big *** engine could spin one turbo with ease and it seems like it would be easier to set up than what you have planned IMHO.

Step UP to a turbo? I'm expecting the TVS2300 to be very competitive at least with the turbo I took off.
I don't think you'll have any trouble at all running 8-10 psi. Feedback I've gotten from a couple people running these setups already is that it's going to be harder to keep boost levels down than up.

Yes, but its not really adjustable. It works off of engine vacuum and it takes a lot of throttle for my truck to get to atmosheric pressure. It idles at 28in which seems like a lot to me but its the way its always been. Do the TVS blowers actually get into boost at part throttle conditions?

I think they mean how quickly you can get to boost from idle. I can be at full boost in a half second or less when I punch it off the line.
