I don't know about the whipple, but we have done quite a few Magnuson LSX/LS7 5th gen Camaro kits.

Mike I have installed a few Magnuson Superchargers on Camaros equipped with LS7 heads. If you are interested in discussing your options feel free to call me!

Mike, we do have an LS7 manifold for our C6 Vette kit that will work just fine with our 2.9L Camaro kit. We have sold quite a few Camaro kits with the LS7 manifold option.

Lol....it's like a piranha pool in here sometimes.

ls7 heads are a raised runner type.

If you put an ls3 charger on it, you might not get the correct alignment.

It will make power... but it will NOT make all that it could.

Sorry, I should have cleared this up a bit in my last post.

If you tried to put our Camaro LS3/L99 kit onto an LS7 headed motor, it would not line up correctly and the bolt holes will be off.

Also, someone with an existing Whipple LS3/L99 kit will not be able to simply purchase a new LS7 manifold and bolt it on. The mounting locations on the blower case are different for the LS7 manifold as well in order to keep the bolt holes out of the intake runners for optimum air flow numbers from port to port.

Now, there is a way around this without having to purchase a new blower assembly if you are doing a build with the LS7 heads and already have the kit. A good dealer of mine CBM Motorsports makes and sells billet adapters to fit between the manifold and heads to make a smooth transition between the L92 manifold and the LS7heads. These will work with LS3/L99/L92 manifold.
