P600b

I have been digging around the site and I am curious why is there no love for this blower? Maybe I am biased but being as I live up here at 6k altitude boost is better then NA? I realize the blower is small but after calling procharger you can squeeze 775rwhp out of them. Maybe it is just me but I am not looking for a X.XX car but rather a car I can toss around and have fun with but yet run 11.9ish range up here at denver aka the mile high track. I found a kit that is leaning on the blower and nitrous and should net me 11.9s with ease and some room left over.
I dont wanna run faster then that right now since you need a cage to go faster and I dont feel like putting in a cage just yet as I want to keep this as a mostly street car that goes for test and tune and perhaps a couple grudge runs but most throw around in the canyons. This is a full suspension car and has a short throw with heads that are ported for boost and overdrive pulleys and all the little goodies that all I was missing is boost. the guy I am talking to said he ran low 12s on blower only so 11s with heads and cam should be no issue and that would also mean I wouldn't have to run such a radical cam to make that power up here. Maybe someone on here can point out the flaw in my logic but right now going bigger would just be a waste since the GTO will be getting the turbo and be putting down the 700+ since from what i read the ls motor handles boost easier and is happier on boost then what I have read here.

Running a P1SC here... Not exactly the same but i "got love" for any type of boost....

the main reason alot of people don't care for the P600 is because you are right on the screaming limits of what they are capable of on a 350 cube motor. You have to spin them alot faster to get the same results of a P1 due to the lower internal step up.

Also aren't the p1 ones self contained? I know the p600b have to tap the pan. I know of a complete p600 intercooled setup I could get, but I rather build my motor for boost first. The p600 was marketed as low boost for stock engines. I do like the squeal that the p600 makes.

some of the older P1s needed to be tapped, but all the new prochargers that are "SC" models are the self contained

well I will make this short the Dbag all of the sudden thought that his setup was worth about 700 more then they are going for when i looked around used. I had a call into a buddy that has a speed shop and loves the lt1 and lsx motors and was talking to him about possible dyno time and tune costs when he said he could get me into a turbo kit for what i see as reasonable that is bolt on. that reasonable # is about 50 bucks total more then the dbag's new price is so I think that I will go turbo. I love SC as i have 2 other sc cars but I guess it is time to venture into spool land but, here is my big concern the car is a t56 car and I have heard it is hard to stay spooled on a shift car so I guess I am looking for a little insight there. either way i am hoping to see high 500s if not more and have a car with highway manners. I have a kid in a club I am in saying his turbo gp would beat a boosted lt1 any day, but then when i tell him I will be back home in august the excuses start flowing. Either way I am looking for a relatively quick spooling setup that will hold its own on the autox/ road courses as well as running 12s or better at 5280 ft altitude.

there is your little update for the time being
