There are plenty of ways to fab your own though.

I'm runnin a 91 Z28 with the 350 TPI with very few mods. Cam, 1.6-1 rockers, hypertech burned chip, shorty headers, and a big throttle body and I've eaten LS1's alive at both Beech Bend Raceway in Bowling Green, Ky - home of the vette and Costal Plains Raceway - Near Camp Lejeune North Carolina. As soon as the I get my 06 tax return the motor is going up to around 400 ci and its really gonna scream. A good seasoned L98 is nothing to be messed with.
i have a set of twin turbo headers for a SBC in a 3rd gen camaro im trying to sell. im not sure if they would fit a vette but its worth a try. im asking 450 for them there good stainless and have header wrap on them
pm me if anyone would like them

the STS rear mount turbos kits for the LT1 can be easily adapted to a TPI. Ive seen it done. Also you could rasie the boost level 1 or 2 lbs due to the lower compression of a TPI.
