Best guess, probably not as the Z06 will be the LT4 not the LT1 motor...

I don't see where the intake ports on the LT4 are any different than the LT1's, so physically the blower should bolt on no problem.

Now adding all the other stuff that is required from GM's parts department(costly), plus a special aftermarket tune might break the budget.

I recommend you wait for Edelbrock to release their Eaton based supercharger for the LT1 as it will be a turnkey kit(everything you will need including the tune will be in the box). Pricing should also be attractive compared to trying to retrofit the LT4's supercharger to a LT1. And it will fit under the hood of a base C7.

I would add a centri kit like me. I'm ordering mine when I get more information since there are 4 kits out right now.

The Cenrti kit on your C7 will much easier and less expensive and with 600 rwhp. Drive away from the new ZO6.

Edelbrock worked on the car right up until the last minute before the show, to get the exposure at the show.

It appears that it isn't easy to get the small crap worked out in order to get the kit into the consumer's hands. Edelbrock has been pretty quiet about the C7 kit, so I assume they won't be making any claims about it until it is 100% ready for prime time.

I applaud them for not bringing it to market before it's ready, as I wouldn't want to be the guinea pig on a new system.

Hopefully, we will be seeing some new info shortly from them.

Edlebrock's been quiet since that SEMA show, haven't seen any official dyno vids or anything pop up. Heck, I didn't even realize they'd announced the kit until some random browsing / searching recently.
