It should, The piping is different because of the orientation of the blower. If you unbolt the vortec from the bracket and have the tube facing down at an angle torwards the drivers side then the procharger piping will work.

It might not be a direct fit tough.. be prepared for some fabrication

It shouldn't be that off, you'll just have to index the blower to face the correct angle.

why get a meth kit you would have to keep filling it up like nitrous thus costing more in the long run instead of buying a intercooler thats 1 time buy no refills

a meth kit is alot more efficient than an intercooler. It don't hardly cost anything to refill, unlike a nitrous bottle. My mixture is 1 gallon of -20 windshield washer fluid with 3 bottles of HEAT and it cost like $7. It takes a half gallon to fill the resevoir and it last at least a month depending on how you drive your car.

This is all straight from the Snow Performance Website!!!
Boost Cooler Benefits (Gasoline):

1. Low cost - where else can you get up to 60HP for as low as $275?
2. More power than other means of detonation control.
3. Efficiency - leaner air fuel ratio can be utilized for normal operation.
4. Greatly increases air charge densities for huge horsepower increases.

Most air-to-air intercoolers are only 50-65% efficient. That means for example, that with 11 psi of boost and the resulting 120°f air charge temperature increase, an intercooler reduces the air charge temperature only 60 degrees. Also, an intercooler will reduce boost 2 - 4 psi. on average.

SP sells 50/50% methanol/waterMethanol as Boost Juiceâ„¢ (see products). Methanol can generally be purchased where racing fuels are sold. Also, most gas line dryers like "Heat" are simply Methanol. Suppliers of industrial chemicals can also supply Methanol usually at a higher price than fuel suppliers.

If all else fails, most windshield washer fluids are up to 40% Methanol and 58% water. Although most contain some glycol and detergent(less than 1%), most windshield washer fluids are up to 40% methanol. Try to find one that indicates "contains methanol" and is rated to -20ºf.


MUST NOT BE TOO BAD, HUH?
