Whipple 2.9L on a truck

I e-mailed Whipple asking why they offer this unit for the 6.2 Raptor and the 6.2 Camaro, but not the 6.2 GM trucks. They basically said that I can make it work if I want to, but I don't want to spend that much on a kit for a different vehicle to do my own trial and error on my one-year-old Silverado. Who in their right mind thought that a 6.2 Chevy with these high-flow heads should have the same blower as the 4.8, or a 4.6 Mustang???

Well said 
Here's the e-mail; they didn't bother to answer why they put they put the 2.9 on all the other 6.2s but not ours:
Though we do (he meant don't) advertize a kit for the 07+ trucks and SUV's using a larger supercharger, I have had quite a few customers install the Camaro 2.9L kit on the trucks with a few minor mods. Either changing the front drive system to 2010+ Camaro or making a bracket to shift the Alt/PS bracket to the drive side about 2" to clear the bypass valve. You will need to custom tune it though.

So he is saying that either the accessories need to be jogged around to duplicate the Camaro's or a bracket needs to be fabbed to offset the alternator and power steering?

Yes, if you notice the OPs pictures, he made a bracket to move the alternator to the driverside further. The actual spacing off the block is correct just the orientation of the accessories is wrong. Although apparently not too bad as all it required was a single bracket to move the alternator.
