Actually you should go with the Radix truck kit on that set up! The vette set up is more for the vette with the reverse inlet and the pulley set up. You wont be dissapointed! Call us if you have any questions!

A Magnacharger will be sweet with a Z06 Engine!

So you don't get lead off track before you get started...

Are you running the ZO6 engine accessories or truck accessories?
The truck blower alligns with the truck accessories and harmonic balancer. I know the truck accessories stick out further than the Vette engine accessories.
The truck blower will not just line right up with 'Vette accessories. The blower snout would stick out about an inch and a quarter too far if you run the 'Vette stuff.

Hey Brian, does the Vette Magnacharger have an intercooler like the truck blower does?

I would definitely get a kit with an intercooler on it since you can fit it under the hood. If that turns out to only be the truck kit, then I would put on truck accessories to make things fit. Otherwise you will have to use threaded spacers to move all of the engine accessories (except the H2O pump -that part should be fine either way) outbaord alot.
Should be a sweet project! Good Luck man.
Ryan

The vette blower does not have the intercooler. You might be able to add it in though.

Actaully there is an intercooled vette kit! But the Radix will be better suited for your application.
