Yes you can put a Vortech on the L98 with out programing the ECM. Just dont drive it.

For the example, I saw on this site (http://www.ehow.com/about_6390287_di...ercharger.html) part of text:
On many domestic fuel-injected V-8s, a centrifugal supercharger can add almost 100 horsepower without even reprogramming the computer.
That's the reason I asked

Re: Vortech V1 on L98 - question!
Vortec and all the others do sell their kits with no computer modifications, not sure why everyone is all freaked out. Usually you will get a FMU and a fuel pump with it, also maybe a ignition/boost control unit for your spark retard in the kit. Those 3 things will work on the car for years but to get the most out of your supercharger a change to the ECM or aftermarket computer would give you full control.
Her are some instructions for the TPI Vortec kit to give you a idea http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com/...e=4GF218im.pdf
