Also, I did end up buying it. Goes in 10/14 to get the work done.

A&A Corvette intercooled supercharger system for C6 Corvette Includes:
Proprietary Vortech head unit in Ti trim
Full width Ram Air Intercooler with integral scoop and mounting brackets
Large 4 1⁄2” inlet duct with re-usable high flow filter
80# Bosch injectors
Kenne Bell Boost a Pump
50 MM Raceport blowoff valve
NGK TR6 spark plugs pre-gapped to .035”
Crank pinning kit with new OE bolt
Superior bracket system with fully adjustable billet tensioner
Aluminum surround panels to enclose the radiator cavity
4 ply silicone hoses formed specifically to navigate the C6 engine compartment
Stainless steel “constant tension clamps” for secure connections
4" mandrel bent polished aluminum MAF tube with bead rolled ends
Upper radiator brackets to support radiator, fan and condenser assembly.
Powder-coated top shroud with integral radiator support

Labor includes:
Baseline dyno session, remove bumper, steering rack, drill and pin crank pulley, reinstall steering rack, mount intercooler, install bracket system, mount head unit and route drive belt, install intercooler tubing, bypass valve, route vacuum hoses, replace spark plugs, install fuel injectors and fuel pump booster, refill and bleed cooling system, reassemble as required, perform initial start and check for leaks, prep for dyno

Will tune the engine and transmission.

Also having them swap in an ATi Superdamper in place of the factory harmonic balancer, putting in an external transmission cooler that will route behind a fog light (so will be losing a fog), and installing the catch can again that I took off and never put back on when I put the headers on.

I might have a handful of days I can take it out in early Nov then again starting in end of March things usually warm up enough to get out a bit again.

After talking to the shop owners and owner of the A&A kits it just made sense to do now.

When it is all said and done I should be at about the same power levels of a C7Z but will weigh about 300 lbs less.

The most important accolade of all. Internet bragging rights.
I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

The satisfaction of knowing that for ONCE I was right about something!

I know. It's just a joke. Research says best bet is century transmissions.

Will be curious what the baseline dyno numbers end up being. I am going to guess around 400 rwhp but not really sure honestly.
