I believe the S, V, and T series head units work with the fbody kit. The YSi needs a custom bracket.

Not true, only the V9 G-Trim will work with the Vortech bracket.

T, S, and YSi all require aftermarket brackets. The only place that makes them is RMCR, and Speed Inc may possibly offer them as well.

You also have to look at how they discharge. Some are curved, some are not.

It's the blower Vortech supplies with their F-body kit. They use to rate it to 575fwhp, now I think it's rated for 600 or 625fwhp.

Is it just the blower, or a kit for sale? You'll spend more money piecing a kit together than if you just find one complete.
