yes. It would be better though to get just the lm1 kit and weld in a bung after the collector. When it isnt in use you can screw the plug into the bung

that sounds easy but my vette is slammed so "screwing the plug into the bung" would require a lift.

Get some 2 X 10' boards and build some drive on ramps. Your bound to need to get under there for something else as well.

A clamp such as that is what the pros use with their dynos. I see no reason that it would not work with your setup also.
As a matter of fact, the last tuner I visited was using an LM1, so he must have been using that clamp (I wasn't paying much attention, it wasn't my car).
You would then feed the ouput of the LM1 into your tuning software and you are good to go.
I use an LM1 because A) The last thing I need is another freaking gauge staring at me while I am driving, and B) I can use it on multiple vehicles, including my motorcycles.

Link to the clamp did not work. Try this one:

I would advise against an LM-1 or anything from Innovate.
I had my LM-1 for 8 months, it broke three times in 8 months. The **** smokers in their forum tried telling me it must be something I'm doing wrong. And I'm not talking about the regular people, I'm talking about the ones associated with this **** company.
Innovate themselves were ****** saying they're not going to fix it for free if they test it and find out it's failing because of something I'm doing.
They fixed it three times for free.
I bought it new for near $350 used it maybe a total of three hours, and sold it for $150.
This is what happens when you treat a customer like ****, they spread the word.

That will do it. I use my LM1 when I am tuning, and then only. I have had it at least 3 years, probably closer to 4. And it has been rock solid every time I use it. There are other brands out there, and there are proponents and opponents of each and every brand. But my LM1 has stood up for me.
Best of luck.
