I think it's doable. No one is gonna make a kit for us though. We'll have to do it on our own. I'll make it happen one of these days. Just gotta round up the cash first.

You'll have to link me to what you're seeing. All I saw was a tv2300 system for the lsa/ls9 cars with the intercooler on top. It looks like more of a clearance issue than the others.

Their rep on FB was saying it could be possible for us 4th gen guys. All thats out yet is the LS3 for the Vettes but the GTO's are coming and we might be able to mix and match parts.

so i emailed magnacharger about there new heartbeat system. inquired about the height of the unit, it is 1 7/8" taller than the LS3 intake manifold. hope that helps for those planning on putting one of these bad boys in an F-body. might not need to much chopping.

So I guess we f body guys is forced to go with the tvs 2300 setup like on hawks Sally formula instead of whipple. Pitiful whipple bother asking us and giving us the run around. Whipple=FAILURE
