Sure thing, we do have plans to make this a kit, but there will be a lot of variations as to how complete you want it

I'll get into that soon; however, my focus in engineering was thermodynamics
and between my engineer David, and myself we've had a lot of killer ideas. The cooling portion of this is up next as well.
I will tell you that we built a rear feed twin turbo kit out of the LSA blower on a gen 2 CTS V (same engine as a gen 5 ZL1). We put a smaller version of what we're doing to test and with no chemical cooling (methanol) and only our custom designed heat exchangers,
the IATs at 32psi were under 110* and we only used my
Track Attack HX up front and our custom HX inside the milled blower housing. We used smaller turbos for quick spooling and at 32psi if I recall (aka making a lot of heat) it was 1034whp on our Mustang dyno. Later, we added and maximized the mechanical cooling and we can get the IATs near freezing and under 80* at the top of a pull.
I have a few patents pending on various versions of this. What we have on my ZL1 will eclipse that setup by approximately 300%.
Check out a few pics of that TT setup and this ATW hx certainly wasn't designed for 1000+ HP but it's all the room we had, we rolled with it knowing we could mechanically cool it if needed, but were astounded at how efficient the entire setup ended up being:
