Default Hood vent

Looking to replace the hood vent on my 2017 GS. Does anyone know if all models use same size to include Z06.

The ZO6 has it's own hood and vent.

^^^ This. The GS and Stingray have the same hood and vent. The Z06 has a taller hood and larger vent.

I purchased a GM supercharger from a Z06. My intent is to place this on my Stingray, Z51. I have heard two differing answers, one says that I need to replace the hood and other says that I can use the original head but will have to change the hood liner. Does anyone know the answer?

I pretty sure you have to replace the hood as the GM supercharger is why the Z06 has a different hood.

Matt a.k.a."managerman" has put a LT4 supercharger on his Z51. I'm pretty sure he kept the stock hood. You might want to send him a PM and confirm.

Here's the thread he started on his upgrade:

Here's a couple of YT videos that Rick Conti posted with Matt and his car.

^ i noticed in the video that he appears to have the first gen supercharger - from when before they redesigned the bricks making them larger. If you look at a 2017+ Z06, you will see the supercharger looks a little taller and more squared off. Maybe this is something to consider, maybe not? But I thought I'd bring it to everyone's attention and await comments.

And yes the Z06 hood is larger than GS and Stingray

Here is a 2017+ supercharger from my 2017 Z06 for comparison
