Has anyone thought of putting a snail or a blower onto their V7/V9. I'm curious to know if the small block can handle a small amount of boost.

It has been done, not sure how it runs though. The guys at AF1 picked up a salvage bike and put the turbo on it.

oh yes, i forgot about this one. I've seen rodsmith's v9 too. but beyond that, not much out there.
I can promise you neither run well, they are both promotional art projects. Forced induction exceeds the capability of the stock ECU and injectors.
Depending on your budget, it's doable depending on the use and (your hopes of) life expectancy of the engine. Then comes power expectations for use, street I'll assume, and if so an extra 10-15 hp would be about all you'd get unless you want to try to build one for all-out power with a short life expectancy; You don't want to put any significant pressure on the stock pistons, rods and bottom end on these. As I keep mentioning, they started life as a 350cc engine.
The V85TT motor could likely handle forced induction with 5~10 psi of boost, but again power expectations vs budget would come into play. At that point, better to invest in a GTM build... even the base 1100-2V motor puts out ~90 hp to the tire in mostly stock hardware (ECU & injectors).

although i am curious to know how the v85 motor compares to say, the v9. was a complete engine overhall? all ive been getting from the reviews is that it has titanium intake valves. other than that, im in the darkI can promise you neither run well, they are both promotional art projects.

You have to dig into the story written on them. In short, they are internally completely all new, strengthened internally to help with the power increase and uber-lean emission requirements.
