Yes for an LS2. See info from his website.

STREET ROD / OFF ROAD KITS (GM / LS1 / LS2 / LS6 / TS)
Historically, hot rodders have preferred positive displacement supercharging because of the huge power and torque increases at any rpm - and the intimidating image they add to any vehicle. The old Roots style superchargers have been around for years, but as compared to the Twin Screw, they are relatively inefficient, noisy, bulky and heavy. The old carburetors were great, but today, cutting a big hole in the hood of a street rod to accommodate a supercharger - with or without a carburetor - is rarely acceptable. The trend is toward more compact, lighter, efficient (cooler air charge and less parasitic HP loss) and powerful Twin Screw superchargers on fuel injected engines. The smaller Roots style Eaton 90, 112 and 120 (1.47L, 1.83L and 1.97L) are excellent low cost OEM grade superchargers, but they are no match for the new hi-tech Kenne Bell Twin Screws. These race proven billet beauties can make 950HP on modern lightweight fuel injected GM engines. And you won’t get hungry or sleepy waiting for the boost (HP & torque) to build up.

Am I not seeing something right?.....it looks like they only offer the KB S/C kit for the C5, not the C6 (yet).

Here's a link to their price list :

I agree with Tim's comment,

...."The smaller Roots style Eaton 90, 112 and 120 (1.47L, 1.83L and 1.97L) are excellent low cost OEM grade superchargers, but they are no match for the new hi-tech Kenne Bell Twin Screws".....

Nope, not yet... Don't hold your breath either... It is being developed for the LS7 / LS3 so the kit will probably not be compatible with LS2s...
