It's a completely different blower, you can't modify an A into an S. You can just swap the headunits and be just fine though. The S or the T will work fine on an L98 or LT1.

ok got to drive it today. put 30mi out of the 50mi they say to breakin the new bearings. in the old a-trim form i would see 6-7psi @ 5500rpm. today i saw 5psi @ 3500rpm & 6psi @ 4000rpm. a little more cruising and then i'll see what max boost is. but what a difference down low in the rpms.

Now imagine 12 psi (sometimes 14 when it is cold) at 3000 RPM.
