Using the Procharger mount, it's like the others, you may be able to just flip the M5 bracket over to the other side, I'm not sure. There are a couple companies making front mounts. Steve Morris used to do a lot of work with the Prochargers not sure if he still does, he may have some info for you. Are you talking about the intercooler or the blower ?

Id much rather replace those roots with a set of 5 or 8.3 liter whipples.

what kind of roots setup do you have there only making 800hp with those blowers? 454s?

The engines were built 8 years ago when parts and knowledge about building engines was not as fancy as it is here n this forum, in 2018. The engines are supposed to be 572

Also the whipple blower has to use that intercooler that is on top of the intake area, that is one of the hotest areas so that type of intercooling is not as efficent as the procharger intercooler setup where the intrecooler is on the side, not in a hotsauna on top of the engine.

I am thinking a procharger m4 or m4sc not sure which one, I want to know if I can use the same exhausts

Won't fit with that exhaust if you side mount it.... I'm running Eddie Marine manifolds and it's close....

a whipple, with a good intercooler, like the Moac, is very capable at keepng IAT's in check.

im running a overdriven roots with a basic superchiller, and iat temps barely over 100 degrees . I have seen some big power procharger builds that run well, but they have had some huge custom built intercoolers with huge water lines feeding them.

My bud's 557's 8.3 Whipples made 1300+ without race fuel, MOAC coolers

and all one needs to do is go to the big poker runs, and look whats powering the big skaters, mti's, outerlimits, nortechs and so on, with custom power. You wont see many prochargers thats for sure. But you will see quite a few screw blower setups.

I know one thing, my buddys M4 head unit could have fried an egg on it after a couple dyno pulls making 1200ish hp. Then there was the belt slip issues, bracket flex issues, and so on. Ill take a whipple anyday , and i bet anyone whos driven a 1200hp procharged setup and a 1200hp whipple setup in a BOAT , would agree.

Check out this typical internet garbage. They are claiming a roots has a discharge temp of 241 degrees. Id love to know what roots blower they were using!?

non intercooled 10-71 at steady state 5500 plus rpm on the water, 140ish degrees real world. Intercooled , 100-115* intake temperatures.

this is the kind of advertising crap that misinforms people. If roots and screws were so inefficient, why do we see them on Hellcats, corvettes, mustangs, and other oem vehicles, rather than a belt driven centrifugal?
