I have no idea if it would fit our cars but it sure did fit nicely on the Corvette.
I haven't thought much about the location, but a rear mount will definately fit. I would prefer to keep it as close to the engine compartment to reduce costs (more aluminum piping, more braided stainless line and an oil pump are needed).
The biggest issue has been adressed, which is the tuning problem. As previously mentioned, the AEM FIC-6 will work with our cars because it is compatable with CAN-bus cars and has a built in MAP sensor. It is a piggyback controller which costs about $400, and just either taps or intercepts existing wires from the PCM. There's no reason why somebody can't build a junkyard setup (besides the aesthetics) for super cheap. If the setup proves to be too powerful for the stock drivetrain there are other options that will work with some re-tooling. Hot rodding/ engineering is a magical thing in that you can do anything with the right bank account.
