Short answer... no, it will not work. Also the functionality of the kit is different. Don't know how much that plays into it not working, but we had a good priced used local kit, I looked it over, too much different to mess with for the price. Ended up going with an ECS kit.

Yes the blower it self will work just fine. The rest of the kit is different though.

I think the head unit bracket is the same, the intercooler and piping is different-if you have some time and patience i'm sure it could made to fit just fine-I know I would.

The bracket must be different somehow.

The older stage I ATI kits will not clear an LS2 intake with 90mm TB on it... the new C6 kits do.

From that I assumed the brackets were different.

My thinking is that if you can get a used older kit for say... $2000.. might be worth it, but if you are going to spend $3500, then spend another $2000 to upgrade it... not worth it.

Hope that helps.

I sold a customer in the Middle East a ProCharger eight rib C5 kit for a C6 Z06. We used the C5 eight rib bracket assembly with the C6 intercooler and inlet assembly. He reported back that it went together without any problems. Bob
