it has been done, someone a while ago posted pics and had to do from what he said about 100 man hours of labor and modification to make it work- personally i dont think the actual work he did took nearly that long mostly thinking on how to do it. The brake booster is where the problem comes in from every thing i have seen I know its something around the booster maybe the master cylinder. From what i have been told, wilwood makes a different sized master cylinder that can be used in order to incorporate the JRSC without do-it-yourself modification necessary but again not sure. IMHO if you want a blower, the Vortec setup is the way to go for our cars. It has been done with great success by one of our members last I saw, and I believe his name was Vortec____ I dunno. But to answer your ?, yes it can be done, but the headaches involved to achieve the output you can get by other means is not worth the hassel IMHO.
Also I know of 2 people who have put lotsa miles on their JRSC equipped G3’s and all eventually had bearing fauiure within the supercharger, one being just within their warranty one just out f their warranty. Both are running good now after a good P&P job, new bearing and an 8lb pulley were added to the mix, but again the style blower jackson racing uses is not my personal favorite for both power and reliability is concerned.
