The blower I suspect you are looking for is the sprintex twin screw unit. Just suspicion from your posts.

Do it. You'll love it....
The new Edelbrock supercharger might be a better recommendation. From the dynos I've seen it looks like a good mild upgrade with more headroom than the sprintex unit and the warranty on it is impressive.

Glad you're considering my recommendation . The twin screw is fine but it is pretty limited and it heat soaks when you drive it hard on the track. I hope the edlebrock has the S/C whine though. It should since its a PD S/C.

True but the sprintex has 2 blower options. The 210 doesnt have a lot of headroom, but remember all the unused headroom in a FI unit costs efficiency. Example: all the unused headroom in a turbo just adds lag and pushes the boost curve higher in the rev range than it needs to be. All the unused headroom in a blower adds additional uncompensated drag over a properly sized unit. The 210 unit has a better torque curve than the e-force. The bigger sprintex 335 blower bolts to the same manifold and is a simple upgrade if you ever want the headroom back, and has way way more headroom than the e-force unit.

As far as heat soak is concerned... This car has heat soak issues on the track without forced induction. It only gets worse with FI. Air to oil cooler is a must-have. After that, heat soak is going to happen anyway, but Temps will stay out of the dangerous range.
