is kenne bell the only people whomake a roots blower for the 5.0? i really want a k/b but damn... they so expensive.. and i just love the sound of a root blower... i mean.. hearing.. just the whine of the blower as it's comming at you.. then after the car goes by hearing the exhaust.. it's.. it's just magical and makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

I think you'd need a custom made manifold to run an Eaton, but the Kenne Bells are a MUCH better blower b/c they're twin screw.
