lots of important vortech questions

Will the head unit from a vortech kit for a 2001 camaro fit on a 1998 vehicle? What are all of the differences between the SQ trim and the regular gtrim? Will it say anywhere on the head unit if it is an SQ trim? Is the gearing different between the two head units? Is one stronger/more durable than the other? Thanks

As far as I know the Output is the same between the two.

The G-trim IS the V9 head unit.
As already said, the kit is the same for ALL LS1 1998-02 F-body.
Only difference is hood clearance in the SS camaro.

provided you have the full kit, then yes, it will work on all 1998-2002 vehicles.

.... however, if your piecing the kit together, there are 2 different mounting brackets, one for the cast gear case blowers (older) and one for the billit gear case blowers (newer)

I'm not sure the difference, I have a newer blower, and the older bracket. Vortech says i need the new one.
