A Whipple is a touch more than an extra $1000. More like an extra $3000:

And the billet intake will run any GT500 bolt pattern blower which means that if in the future someone wants to upgrade all they need to get is a 2.9 or 3.4 Whipple Tuner kit and they have a huge blower to run on their 3v that can't be done any other way.

How much power can that thing produce? Has that been tested yet?

Trying to re-engineer it to fit could be a huge can of worms for a used blower. I would just buy a new one myself. Prolly be way cheaper in the long run and certainly be less headaches.

My tuner is guessing between 575-600rwhp with a CAI and exhaust..

They will be shipped with a pulley for 450rwhp.

The engineering is done. And in a lot of cases better than the kits already on the market. For the end user it will be no different than a "blower" kit aside from needing to source the ancillary items.

Well considering that the blower is good for about 600hp it will be no problem setting up a pulley combination to make 450/450 at the tires which is how they will be shipped out.

I was gonna say yes it WILL work, but I see you're already well under way! A local shop bought my stock blower off me and the owner installed it on a 4.6. I saw it with my own eyes, but last time I saw it, the engine and blower hadn't been put in a car yet.
