Depends on the set up..... Most centrifugal corvette kits face backwards just like this.... it is better for airflow as you dont have a huge 180* elbow for the blower to draw air through....

that looks amazing, nice setup! yeah they can face the back, just heaps of stuffing around with things as the pic suggests, a lot of custom work, for no big gain unless it's an absolute dyno tearer needing every last ounce of HP squeezed out, or unless it's too tight for room to fit the other way

That Procharger pic is awesome
My engine builder Sash at AN Racing has just finished the shop's XW race car. With an F2 Procharger, it made 1400hp on pump fuel. This same package, from carb to sump, can be yours for $36 900
That's over 1100rwhp and can probably take out HP Heroes. Compare it to TRYHRD's engine and it's a bargain!

It's not always about cubes though, Gary Pope downsized in the search for more power. Revs can more than compensate depending on the setup. It was a 402 i believe it is a 340 or 360 now?

It's just a stroked 351W, no big blocks here . He can do the same package for a Chev as well. Actually come to think of it, the August edition of Street Machine (has a silver blown HQ on the cover) features his build up of a 400ci SBC with an F2. It made on pump fuel around 1300hp on 16psi.
After i have fun with the nitrous holden setup he is doing for me and now looking at his car, man i REALLY wanna do a procharged SBC next
