No it won't work. The location of the alternator on camaros/firebirds are different. You'll need a corvette specific bracket that accommodates the alternator for a reverse setup. If the setup is cheap enough, get it and then go to Carrolls website and buy a bracket for $350. :cheers:

There are better and more expensive chargers out there that'll give more boost (Vortech, ATI). If you engine is close to stock then there is no need for more then what a paxton can dish out (6-8 psi, modded 10-12 psi). For the money you can get a paxton setup for, I would give it a try. I would install heavier duty bearings in it if I was you. Also, a good ideas is to get an oil cooler for the head unit to prolong it's life.
