ATI is your best bet for SC. They have them big enough to make 19# on a big block, so a 422 you'd be set. Are you going with something other than the truck intake? Hurry and get that beast in, we need a new fastest truck. Its been 1 guy running things here for nearly 2 years now. Time for some new blood.

most definetly can't hold up to that. you will need exactly what snake eater said or you could get a large turbo to run it. what compression is the 422 and what cam did you decide to go with. also are you changing out the tranny?

Well the c.r is about 11.5 to 1 so I guess I might as well stick to spray. It will hold up to a 300 shot so. If I get another set of heads I will be back down on the c.r so maybe I will worry about it then

If you're married to the idea of a supercharger, you're either going to need a centrifulgal (i.e. ATI) and will have to settle for the spool-up boost lag which is similar to turbo lag, or if you want off-idle boost, the intercooled 3.3L Whipple that Starr Performance sells in Australia. The 3.3L Whipple is good for up to 1,000 HP, but the problem is that the price is well North of $10,000 U.S.

Well I got some brackets fabricated up a F1R and got some other stuff to stop the belt slippage and flexage then i an hoping that it will hold on to a belt and make some boost. If this works then thats what I would suggest to you.

I am going to have to go ahead and say NO to that right now. I guess I could always sell a kidney.
