I don't know what that means. I do know what MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price ) means. This is a "suggested" selling price. AFAIK, Pro-Charger (ATI) does not allow retail sales of their kits, unlike Vortec. Technically, only the dealer can be the installer. I'm sure this is to help insure the units only get installed on engines built to handle the increased power.

I think it was meant as more of a ?. As in is this the price you would ask for the kit of the members of The Corvette Forum?

As a dealer, I belive I cannot sell to anyone, forum member or not. Only for "at my shop" installs. But I have seen units and kits for sale on-line. That said, I'm sure I could "work something out"...

At last. I have been waiting for someone to do exactly this. Some time ago I did provisional calculations to see whether a Vortech unit would fit under hood of my L36 427. Conclusion was that it would just about fit in the same position as yours. I was originally unsure if it was mounted as close as possible to underside of the hood/fender (not wanting a custom hood) if the upper A arm would run the risk of hitting the underside of the blower casing when suspension was on maximum deflection. I shall be replacing front springs soon and will take this opportunity to 'mock-up' the A arm without the spring and take measurements etc. Your answer of using tubular A arms is interesting, are you saying that this is the only way?. Does the blower now sit lower in between the A arm tubes?. How will you route cool air to inter/charge cooler and then to carb? and do you envisage the effect of all this on underhood temperatures? I am really interested in your findings here.

Finally got blown tonight (get your mind out of the gutter)
Fired her up at 10 pm tonight, takes some of the pain of sending Uncle Sam several G's next week...
Ran it in the garage without the carb. hat to purge the intercooler plumbing of debris and I was impressed at how much air the ProCharger put out at idle. Revved it up and the volume of discharged air was incredible! Now to modify the tilt nose pivots to clear the intercooler plumbing. I can't wait to get her on the road.
