Did you read this at the bottom?
"Depending on the crate motor, accessories (pulley offset) or vehicle, we offer basic kits for 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, or 2002 Camaro / Pontiac Firebird custom installations. These basic kits do not include external charge cooler components (water storage tank, hoses, clamps, pump, and heat exchanger) and may require significant hood modifications. Call for more information."

Prob need a 3'' cowl or possible bigger. Thing looks huge like most twin screws and therefore only fit by lowering the kmember and cutting or getting aftermarket hood that fits over it all. Also most have to cut out the cowl area and therefore, you lose your wipers. Try some searches, its not going to be any different than the other twin screws out there. A twin screw is a twin screw and the ones making big power have been chopped up and shoe horned in there.

Looks taller than a stock truck intake. I doubt it will fit in a 98-02 fbody without serious hacking to the cowl area.
Should fit in 3rd gen swaps with cowl hoods i think

my ls2 is not anywhere close to my cowl and i already have a sunoco style hood, so clearance would not be the issue

id try it but would hate to spend 5500 on something that wouldnt work... the supercharger is made by vortech so it should be very efficient

Go for it, get one for a GTO and change nothing

Twin screw blowers are the top dog in traditional roots, and you'll pay dearly for them too
