im pretty sure they only make roots style blowers which will not work without pretty intense modification

because of how far back the ls1 sits in the fbody its pretty dificult to fit a roots type charger there being as how the windshield is 2 inchs off the top of the manifold.

but trucks are a totally dif car with A LOT more underhood space. the reason the corvette can have is because it sits further towards the front than the fbody.
