You would need a "roots" style blower
Do a google search, plenty of companies sell them.

They are not a very efficient "street" blower though
Usually used on BIG cube engines because of the amount of CFM's they'll flow.
Also more of an old school technology.

Twin-screw would be better, but dont know of any that are carb compatible
Might be worth calling Whipple and see if they make a carb version

why would he need a "roots" style blower? the twin screw is the same basic thing only more efficient, and more street friendly...

and to answer your question black05 yes there are some available, KB (kenne bell) and whipple (sp) both offer them... last time i checked KB's 5.0 carbed model wasn't listed but if you call they can give you a price
