On the car end of things the Edelbrock E-Force seems to be kicking serious ***. I want one in my truck. But they are a long way if ever, from releasing it for the older trucks. I'm trying to think through this if I were to buy the tuner kit for like a 2010 Camaro and then make it work on my LQ4. Tuning, fueling, and piping myself are no problem for me. Custom hoses and brackets for the heat exchanger are pretty easy. I've got an 04 with e-throttle and I 'think' the bolt pattern is the same on all the throttle bodies. So maybe pulley+belt routing will be a bitch?

What am I forgetting?

The biggest issue is going to be putting on the cylinder heads to match the ports on the lower manifold. Changing the accessories isn't a big deal, changing the heads may be. That's alot of work when there is a Magnacharger already available to bolt on and go for the most part.

They use the same tvs rotors from eaton as say a magnacharger. Food for thought.

Would L92 heads work?

Yep. L92/LS3 port heads are what he'd need.

Oh, right. I forgot the ports are different now. Thanks guys.
Does Vortec sell stripped tuner kits? I can't find anything but complete kits on their site.

Just wondering why you would try to adapt when we have a proven system for your truck.

Ya what Brain said. Both systems use the same TVS rotor pack.
