I would appreciate it if you'd tell me the same information. I made a thread about this before and read several others but everything is speculation kit-wise anyway.

Ok guys here is the latest. They don't make a bolt on kit actually I was told that I should check out ls1 tech cause someone has done it before. Mostly the reason is that in the f-bodies the engine is set back to far into the firewall and the blower itself can't clear. The GTO kit forutnately because the engine is set foreward just enough allows clearance. I know that with some massaging of the firewall you can make it fit. I just hopped online now so I am going to see if I can find anything on the guys that may have done it.

I defintely will post the threads when I find em should be something up later tonight.

I guess this been talked about alot and I only have seen one car which was a silver camaro that actually done the install of this s/c....but from what I read on the board numbers and other interesting stuff....a prochargere or vortech would produce more power the mag s/c would...but if you choose to be different I would suggest talk to the guy that actually did the install of the orginal mag s/c on the camaro. Nothing wrong being different just you might pay more or take longer time to get it done

Yeah it sums up all the speculation and suspense ... read it while it was still going and nothing solid as far as a kit. Only custom adaptation.
