I think you could put a Maggie 3100 on your LT4 with ToohighPSI port injection system and hit your 800 goal without opening up the LT4.
I’m sure I could, easily.

It’s a pipe dream without the pipe. LOL

$18K doesn’t even include the management side, which who knows how that could be incorporated. Even selling the blower is largely non-realistic. That ECM controlled bypass would be a deal breaker for 99.9% of people that would remotely want it.

Those factory manifolds might be something to look into though. They don’t appear to be near as restrictive at the collector as the LT4 ones. Would need a little fabrication work, but that’s no different than LT’s providing they aren’t dumping into a frame piece or something right there...
