lol um yes. the procharger is one of the most common superchargers to place on ANY gm ls based engine. the F1 procharger, D1,and the P1 are all compatible with any ls engine and even carbed small block chevy or efi engine. its not really an engine specific supercharger like a roots blower can sometimes be. its your normal centrifugal charger and will of course work. get a good tune and fuel system though or you will destroy your car, also keep in mind the stock internals on an ls1 block are only good to about 500rwhp, even at 500 your pushing it. contact bob at brutespeed hes on here and he will set you up with more information as he is the vendor for procharger on ls1tech

On most setups the blower is the same like stated above! Only differences are piping and minor things. If its a good deal I say ****** it up.

You need to find out what direction the head unit (you have) spins. The F-body and the corvette (blower kit) spin different directions. I'm pretty sure the D-1 for my F- body spins counter clock wise and the the D-1 for the corvette spins clock wise. VERY IMPORTANT to mount the head unit in the correct rotation.

Probably need the bracket and re-pipe the intercooler and you would be there.

I thought both head units were reverse rotation.

get the serial number. call procharger. ask for john. give him the serial number. it needs to be at the 10 oclock position and reverse rotation. other than that the p1-d1-and f1-a will all fit in the bracket. on a side note....... any serious boost, and avoidance of the belt issues associated with prochargers are typically solved with the addition of the aster bracket which can be found at brutespeed.com
