Default C6 ZR1 LS9 Supercharger on a 7.0L LS7 C6 Z06

Just like the title says in this posible?, I am aware of the options available. Yet the design on the LS9 supercharger is great! Can the OEM
Supercharger off a ZR1 (LS9) bolt onto a LS7?

No. They don't even bolt up to an LS3 in an OEM configuration. You have to change a lot of things.

heads, valley cover, headers/exhaust (maybe) and not to mention the rest of the plumbing for the intercooler/heat exchanger setup you will need to run with the TVS2300. They're might also be a few things I'm leaving out as I have really looked to deep into the idea

....however, it can be done. I would probably wait for the whipple 2.9L it for the ls3 and if was something I really wanted to do, I would purchase that kit, ported ls3 heads and go from there.

GL!

The new Edelbrock/Eaton E-Force supercharger is pretty darned close to the Eaton 2300. I personally think it's the same thing, since Eaton is an OEM supplier and "co-developed" the new aftermarket SC with Edelbrock...just a way to get the LS9 SC into the aftermarket... but I can't find much specifics on the Edelbrock piece since it's still pretty new.

Then again, you're asking about an LS7, and both above mentioned SC's are for LS3 based motors, so I have no idea. LOL!

I too threw around the idea of an LS9 SC, but I've got an LS3...so I've got an eye on the new Edelbrock SC. And honestly, it's the first Edelbrock release in 10 years that's even sparked my interest as I generally don't care for Edelbrock that much...

You'd also have to change all of the front accessory drive pulleys. Exhaust manifolds would be OK
New pistons to lower compression.
