Default Whipple 3.3L "tuner" kits for LS1/2/6

I hope this isn't a repost. I saw that Sean and the guys at Speed Engineering were working with Whipple on a top-mount setup, but I just went to Whipple's site and saw this:

It's been out for a lilttle while, but nowhere near a direct bolt on. I hope that speed eng and whipple work out together for a bolt on application as complete as the Radix. If so, then my plans for this year will change quite a bit

I thought they were going to make it a complete bolt on kit???
That's the kit I want!!!! Will buy it after tax return and if it's available as a complete start to finish bolt on kit!
Looks as though I will need a frigin hood, traction bars, slicks with that one!!

Now I would cut my hood for that....

but the application in the pics seems to be a sand rail with the motor facing the rear. I don't see any alternator, at least where our trucks mount them. I hope they make it a complete bolt-on kit, but I got to believe that would be a long shot. Tuner kits at the most.

Funny how they put a note specifically saying that this will not fit under the hood of a C5 vette...I don't think it will fit under our truck hoods, let alone a C5 or F-Body.

Why aren't you going with a heatexhanger?With the heat exchanger you can run about 14-16lbs of boost.The supercharger can produce 25lbs.

The one that you posted a pic of is a SBC, not a GEN III motor. Still sweet though!

No way I'm dropping 9 grand for an incomplete kit with no heat exchanger. I may be switching to a Procharger afterall
