Default 2016 Sierra 2500HD 6.0 gasser supercharger question

I just picked up a 2016 Sierra Denali 2500HD 6.0 gasser. My question is if anyone knows if procharger, whipple, maggie, TVS supercharger setups from previous model trucks with LS based motors would work on my 2016 6.0LS based truck? Of course the body is different from older models but seems like there is the same amount of space under the hood, I'm sure intercooler location would need some modifications to work with my year but that seems simple. My main concern is for instance can I run a setup like mentioned above let's say from a 99+truck on mine. Thanks PT

I wouldn't see why there will be any issues other than if you have a driver side mounted Procharger that you may need to change the power steering reservoir out with a smaller neck. That is really the only physical difference I can see looking at a quick glance. The manifold mounted SC's should not be an issue other than you need a square port kit instead of cathedral.

Yea it seems like the ps would only be the issue, but not really. LSA swap is on my mind as well so I'd need the adapters. I only have 19k on it, so I have plenty of time to decide. But I might just piece together an LSA setup till the warranty is up lol.

you won't need any adapters for an LSA blower, the L96 has square port heads just like the LSA 6.2s....and yes any centrifugal blower with the correct truck brackets or any PD blower designed to work with square port heads could be made to work

I would like to see one tuned with the owner actually happy. That E78 ecm is a real beauty... tons of support ( like none) from HP or EFIlive. I haven't yet found someone even successfully activate E fans on them..... sad thing about that is the fleet 2500 and 3500 Suburbans run e fans oem lol.

My truck has ghost knock off the bottom and nothing fixes it.... it's like the ECM doesn't even recognize the changes made to half the tables... probably doesn't.

My 2017 has been tuned since I bought it new and it pulls quite a bit harder than stock.. although only wants premium at this point which I don't really care. 4.56 gears however really helped in that pulling power department though too.
