Congrats on the A&A setup, I have one of Andys now old DS1C setups and just love FI and his customer service on his products. You went with a stand-up shop on the West Coast who will treat every customer as number 1. I know this from mail order from him and time spent on the phone going over my goals. He did not over sale me on anything and this is what I really liked. BTW welcome to the FI world you will really love the increased HP that is available at your right foot, I know I do

I'm not too far behind you.... Thinking abt the same setup. Can't figure out if I like the Novi 2000 or the Vortech. Kit wise, quality is the same - IMO, just the head unit keeps me thinking. Probably isnt enough of a difference between the two to warrent the time. My ultimate goal is either a forged 402/427.
Q; Did you consider a cam / head swap why your there? You have a Z so your heads are better flowing then mine (2003 C5 MN6 coupe). Trying to figure out if changing to a FI cam and a better flowing head will help. Understand that the Vortech SC can jam enough air into a LS1 to blow the bottom right out, and that max power can be obtained by a SC alone. I am looking at improving the lower end of the torque curve, prior to any boost hitting and thought that the H/C may help. Any thoughts?
I've got this at the top of Santa's list although he (she...) dosnt like to get me xmass presants that cant fit below the tree
Perhaps I may have to take my C5 to Andy for an oil change..... an expensive one at that

BTW the Z06 cam 2001-2003 looks pretty good for a blower and it will fit under the tree and not break the bank.
