LTx supercharger kit for LESS

I know, I know
if it aint a Vette it aint SHette...

however, what is the differnce in supercharger kits from Vortech.

for a F-body its 3500-$4K forthe Vette it's nearly $5k? WTF? (and I don't mean White Trash Ferrari... f-n moostangs...

If I buy a SOS kit, how much fabricating should I expect?

By the way, does anyone use a standalone ECU on their 94+ c4?

'fraid to ask in the ZR1 forum, but do you know of any success/failures (right) for standalone swaps for the lt5 system? (AEM, Haltech, etc?)

The ZR1 / LT5 is a simple OBD1 system, is'nt it?

The C4 Vortech kits uses a reverse rotation blower. I can't say why they charge so much more for the kits than for a F body. I know there are several more parts involved in the vette kit. Personally I think its a demand issue, they sell a lot more F body kits than Y body kits that I know. As far as a DIY kit, well if you got the time and money anything is possible. You could just purchase the blower and the mounting brackets from Vortech or you can go to the for sale forum now as there is a used C4 kit for sale there.
