If its a dry sump its should work with any 8rib setup, worst case you would need to line up the pulleys

I finally had a chance to try this out, since i finally had a reason to take damper off...
Innovators West Lt4 dampener will not work with LT1 Procharger kit out of a box... I tried it with their part number 770 which is 9% overdrive
BUT, with following few mods it will work.
You will need to grind down, or cut off, one of water pump mounting points which is not used on Corvette. I think its used by some other model in GM lineup that uses the same pump. If you don't tensioner pulley bolt will hit it.
You will also need to cut off 3mm off all 3 "rods" that connect Procharger bracket to the block..
and just like that, it works... better belt wrap...
