Are the shortblocks the same on the z06 and the stingray? internals wise i mean.

Maybe different cam?

Different motors, LT1 for Stingray and LT4 for Z06. I doubt many people will change out the blower, they had to make a special one to fit under the hood.

Hanson got it right; I don't forsee many Z06 guys swapping out the blower. Pulley, sure, but doubtful on the actual unit. The blocks started from the same design, but the Z06's LT4 is significantly beefed up to handle 650/650 and still get a 100k mile warranty, plus a bigger fuel system of course. Upgrading a direct-injection fuel sytem is a big hurdle, but supposedly a lot of the Z06 components will swap over to the LT1 for the Stingray guys wanting to make big power. That said, the stock Stingray DI fuel system seems to have no problem supporting 600-650whp.

Now I need to source and intake manifold core to get into MAP's hands...
