I am curious what your plan is to get up to 650whp out of a c38 or v3. These have already been pushed to the ragged edge and it isnt getting close. Especially if you are going to pulley it to stay within the manufacturers suggested rating. The only chance of getting past the 600 mark is going with a V2 but even then you will need to overspin it way over its rated rpms, which has been done with good success on other platforms. But are you going to warranty it if you pulley it to do that?

The C38 - 91/92 trim is capable of ~725Bhp and with the correct supporting mods such as headers, built heads, and a more efficient setup should net you in the 600whp range. Most of the stage 2 GTM kits got the smaller version of the C38. Not to mention that the GTM kit was open to the headers. This leads to the supercharger bringing in hot ambient air. Combined with a small cheap intercooler you will end up with hot IAT. If we were to do a C38 kit it would definitely have some changes to make.
As for the Vortech/Procharger kit. We are still up in the air on this and we have even thought of going to the V7 trim possibly. At this point we want to see what people are interested in. We do have a customer we are working with right now to fix the Stillen kit he has. I don't believe we have pushed these super chargers to their max yet especially given the lack of efficiency found in the competitions kits. But we will let our kits do the talking...
As for the positive placement unit. We are a huge fan of this idea. However, there are space constraints to deal with. We would truly need some interest from the community to proceed further. This has a lot of advantages to it and we would like to bring something new to the table.
