That Camaro kit if it did fit the Silverado is for the previous gen engines. The LS3 style engine is like the older GEN 4 truck engines but it nothing like the 2014-2018 truck engine and the 2016+ camaro engine.

Your 2018 truck is a LT family enigne and not and "LS" anymore. Unfortunately that kit will not fit a direct injected engine like your truck has. Basically nothing is the same between the two other than the displacement size.

We will have our 14+ kit out this summer. As with all of our kits, 8 rib setup, self contained, billet, and a limited lifetime warranty. Made in America!

Those head units look like Rotrex units.

If so, those are very good head units. Very very efficient.

A decent intercooler core and simple pipe/hose kit from ebay would make doing an intercooler pretty easy. Just takes a little time to measure things out.

I'm still waiting on further word with the NNBS kits but they did just get back from drag week last weekend. Hoping to get one as soon as they are ready.
