Anyone seen one of these installed on an aftermarket LS3 application?

DAMN! They want $7190 for JUST the head unit! At that rate you'd be past $11K into it by the time you pieced together the entire supercharger kit!
You can get an Edelbrock E-Force or a Magnacharger supercharger kit, both of which include that exact same head unit as the core of their kit, for less money than that, and it is a complete kit, with injectors, fuel rails, intercooler, IC pump, intake manifold, etc etc etc...
THAT SAID... Forum user "Gotcha" has one of those that he got (for a much better price obviously) and has pieced together his own kit... A search for his user name should reveal more details. I don't think he's done yet, but I know him personally and he does incredible work; piecing the rest of the kit together should be no problem for him...

From the listing: "This Listing is for the Supercharger Head Unit ONLY and is for customers who prefer to have the option of installing their own custom parts"

Once the fact came out that the "complete kit" was not a "complete kit" as stated by some vendors, the interest in the LS9 S/C installation on a C6 LS3 went to hell in a handbag.

I wasn't interested in installing one, I was just wondering if anyone had, and what kind of WHP had been achieved.
Personally, I'd rather have an OEM blower if it were available, vs. an Elde or magna, but that's just me... I think it would help with resale, etc.
Honestly, I had no idea that this was the same head unit as the other manufacturers were offering for far less cabbage.
Thanks for chiming in gents.. As always, you guys are well informed, and to the point.

Why would u want to?
Aftermarket S/C kits will outperform the ZR1 S/C on so many levels.
Unless you wanted to build a ZR1 clone... but then ur approaching the price of a REAL ZR1 anyway.
