Any roots style blowers in the works?

I was wondering if KB, Magna, or whipple, etc have been trying to make a roots style blower for LT1's?

Or if anyone has done any fabbing on their own for a roots blower.

I wouldn't think there is much "in the works" for the LT1, now that we have the LSx. But I'm sure someone could get one to work with the LT1, being so similar to the SBC.

Someone retrofitted an Eaton M112 to an LT1 a couple years back, but later replaced it with a Vortech and saw a hefty power gain.

I believe you are thinking of Alvin from PCMforless, he had a roots blower on his 93 trans am/formula and then went to a Vortech.

He sold his T-trim/aftercooler set up and is going back to his "roots."
