Do yourself a favor, the ONLY guy to go to for supercharging a c4 is Greg Carrol!

www.blowerworks.net

Very well developed kits with mild-to-wild applications!

ditto about greg at blowerworks.net

There are unique problems to supercharging a c4 that he has mastered.

dont waste your money on any of the big name companies kits. Their brackets, FMU's, etc. are junk.

Just call Greg. Most importantly, he will educate(free) you on all of the options for your Vette. He will offer his opinion if asked, on what you could do based on your goals. But he will never pressure you to buy anything.

Blowerworks is one of the few places that support C4 blower applications and he has quality products and good customer service--you'll find most folks in this forum has drank the Greg koolaid! There are several places to buy what you're lolling for. The big issue with LTx C4s is belt wrap at the crank pulley. The most common and most effective fix is having a dedicated drive for the blower (seperate 6, 8, 10, or 12 rib serpentine for blower cut in crank pulley)...above 8 ribs poses clearance issues with distributor. If you address belt slip up front and go with custom tune and youve addressed about 95% of the issues with the "kits" out there.
