Hope you guys are thinking ahead... get an 07 truck in there asap... and see what you can transfer over. Model transistion periods can be tough for the aftermarket. Hopefully engine bay layout won't be a whole lot different. Seen the new Tahoe up close... new trucks are rolling into the dealership where my wife works. May have to snap a few pics

That looks painfully similar to our current trucks. 
Looks like the 07 is more evolutionary than revolutionary.
I like how they moved the battery over the the passenger side and got the weight off the nose. No more Chevy lean?
I think both the current Trick Performance kit and STS's wouldn't be far off from fitting as they are now. A log manifold on the driver's side looks like it might be the only way for a twin.

I have more pics... mostly closeups and different angles of the exhaust area. I was trying to imagine a low slung C5/C6 Corvette Twin Turbo kit (manifold and turbo placment)... as well as top mounts. We'll see how much retrofitting can be done... without total reinvention of some parts. Also, Kenne Bell has their intake on the driver side... will make it easier for them... assuming no firewall encroachment on the back of the S/C.

Bottom line is if the hot parts are interchangeable... then your work is more than half done... and you are 2 steps ahead of the competition when it comes to time supporting the new Silverado. Can you remember hearing crickets back in 1999?... 2 years after the GENIII motor appears in the C5... a year after the F-Body. I do. Company backed turbo kits for Silverado's... the selection is sparse. I know demographics and general overall purpose of the Silverado plays a huge role in how its supported in the aftermarket community. But guys modding trucks is growing... they are getting more powerful and faster every year.
