Yup, got one on my 85 and lovin it. Mine has been upgraded to a V3 T-trim so it's not quite the same. Originally had an old A-trim on there with the oil supply lines. I like this one MUCH more!

Yes this is a popular C4 setup from Vortech, they were to make about 6-8 pounds of boost Thry were generally as posted above V1 or V2 S-Trims which would put a 300 HP LT1 to about 427 HP. Many of us including myself canged or had them updated to T-Trims added 8 rib belts and Water Metanol injection pushing the bost to 10-12 pounds, which obviously means better pistons rods an larger injectors, fuel pumps etc.

I have some pictures on my website in my signature as well. also visit the Supercharger Forum, there are some very knowledgeable folks there as well.

Shoot me a PM if you need any more information...
