Along with a front mounted t-body, which is where the big power increase would come from.
To do all that would take a significant amount of money. More than most would be willing to spend. KB themselves don't seem to be interested in re-engineering the Vette system.
What needs to happen, is a company with the engineering capability, make a deal with KB to just buy the compressors, and design a completely new kit from the ground up.

Didn't Techno try to do that? I believe they went under.
