IS the headunit Counter Clockwise? The head unti will work if so.

You will need
-Bracket
-Oil Drain and Feed Lines (If it is the V2, V3 is self contained)
-Charge Piping
-or a Front Mount Intercooler, Vortech's Aftercooler would also work but FMIC is cheaper.
-A Tune
-New Injectors
-Fuel Pump
-Mass Airflow Meter, not needed with a Speed Density tune.
-and a Intake of some sort

That should cover the major things.

He has an intercooler that'll come with it, tune is not an issue. I have a 255 pump with 42lb injectors. I have an sd tune already. It is a v2 for a 2006 truck. I'm thinking the only thing that will work is the actual supercharger. Correct me if I'm wrong please.

si trim? t trim?
and rotation all matter. you could give rmcr a call as they still deal with vortech units on ls1 f bodies.
