Not much reason to use one on a truck unless you like the looks. They made compromises in intercooler effeciency and air flow by squashing it to fit under a C6 vette hood.
The camaro is a 1900.

For what it's worth this statement is right off Edelbrocks web site:

Edelbrock E-Force Supercharger systems deliver excellent horsepower and torque in a complete, street-legal kit that fits under the factory hood. The core of each system is the Eaton Gen VI 2300 TVS® Supercharger rotating assembly. Eaton's assembly features a four lobe design with 160° of twist for maximum flow, minimum temperature rise and quiet operation for excellent drivability.

Could have sworn I seen a 1900 also but who what when and where I do not know.

I am talking about the blower setups from GM. No idea what Edelbrock has done...

so is that green peak antifreeze compatible with dexcool?
That was a real thorough leak check
The Edelbrock system is real conservative as far as boost.
Im sure they will put some gears in a future show.
I like there flex plate locking tool. wish I had thought of that befor i spent $120 on the KM tool
I saw they added lock tite to the crank pin. I didnt do that. I installed 2 pins with the Magnuson kit.

The antifreeze doesn't need to be compatible with dexcool. The cooling system for the supercharger is completely separate from the vehicle cooling system.

I always wonder how long the vehicles, built on these TV shows, actually last without issues

They still had to top off the engine coolant as they had the steam pipes off the heads to replace them.
