    As in a kit? No. Has it been done? Yes. Not easily, but wow. Here's some good reading.

    SUPPOSEDLY (as in a recent GMHTP issue) the manufacturer of the aftermarket ZR1 styled roots blower has an application for the LTx. Surprised it hasn't been mentioned here before actually......

    I remember seeing that as well, so I did some searching. Apparently it was a custom job by Dragon Race Engineering on one of their own cars. Some guys at LS1Tech have been calling them, and supposedly a kit will be coming out for the LT1 soon. I didn't find anything on their site though.
