Sean is the man!
That is exactly what I thought about the TVS for the 8.3 and 8.4 motor. It is just to small to feed enough air for those engines. Yeah, it could create a few psi of boost but the blower would have to spin its rotors pretty fast/hard via small pulley to make worth it. It wouldn't be reliable and that's not considering all the heat soak that would build up.
The best P.D. Superchargers for the Gen 3 and 4 are the Whipple 3.4L and the 4.0L. They would supply enough air to the viper V10 engine spining their rotors slower and creating less heat as well.
While both would require the hood to be cut or a new hood(not practical), the whipple 4.0L would need a HUGE cut since is a massive supercharger and also could generate more than 1000 hp in a viper motor in my opinion. It is just a beast of a blower and I do have a friend with a 2010 shelby running 20psi making 850RWHP (and God knows how much torque..) while its potential is much, much more.
Another thing is that the engine cross brace has to come out for any of the P.D. to be installed too.
In the end,Turbos would be the best solution like Sean said because it's practical and has the potential to generate more power than the supercharger.
I do have pics of a 3.4L whipple installed on a generation 3 viper (Sean Roe kit). Looks really good

Those are not the pics that I have. I have the car with the 3.4L whipple on it, that is a small 2.4L-2.8L kenne bell.
I cannot post pics here anymore.
Please, somebody pm me your e-mail and will send them to you so you can have them posted here after.

Mother of God !!!!!!!!!!! That 3.4 blower looks monsterous.

I forwarded those two pics to you as well. That is all I have.
A custom hood would be a must for everything to fit under. If you like the "mad max" look, it "only" requires the hood to be cut

Would a custom dry sump setup lower the engine enough to make that somewhat practical?? That looks like it may impair vision some...

I have no clue if that is a possible alternative or not but the comp coupe has a dry sump system so who knows. Give the man(Sean Roe) a call and he should be able to tell you.
If it is possible to drop a few inches they could upgrade to the whipple 4.0 or 5.0 liter liter insanity.

It would be interesting to find out, but a dry sump coupled with a blower install would probably cost about as much as one of these twin turbo kits floating around. Another question though....I wonder how many people on here have installed a dry sump on their car?
