But they wont b/c the cost of r&d for a car with low producation numbers already and out of all the supercharger choices who would actually buy one who modifies it and doesn't already have FI. So they wont do it b/c its not worth the money they would like to get out of it. People only continue to make parts for this car is b/c they are part of that community like how G-force1320 does for our drivetrain needs.

This is true but it would be nice for them to make a tuner kit for Catheadral head LS cars/trucks.

just do a little research and find what superchargers fit what heads. The LS series motor is extremely versatile.

Magnuson has some superchargers that will fit both 6.0 and 6.2L Heads... if you are in socal... id be more than happy to help with a selection and install

No! Who would put all that research & development into a low production car, and for a car that in a few months has been out of production for 6 years.

Reserch and development shouldn't be that involved really. They aready have a cathedral port manifold. They already have a front inlet head unit. Put the two together. It would be even easier for the GTO due to we have more room between the engine and hood than the f-body does and our engine doesn't doesn't sit under the firewall.

Do it!!!!
