Getting really serious about a Kenny Bell supercharger and would like to hear about its pros and cons. I plan on installing it myself on my 02 Z06so if anyone that has done there own install I would like to here from you as well. Any pics of the install or completed system would be great. Thanks in advance

Go to search right above. Click on advanced search. Be sure to check archived threads and C5 Forced induction to narrow choices. Type in user Nitro UK and it'll pull up a lot of info. There is one thread titled "Are we having fun yet" that'll help a lot.

NITRO UK, that's some really nice work. Also, that's what I was looking for. If you have the info on the LS2 wiring please PM it to me. When I start the install I'm sure I'll have many questions that maybe you can help with. Thanks.

Send a private message to American HP. If there is anyone on the forum that has the ins and outs of that kit its Jeff.

Thanks guys. What I'm doing is collecting info and ideas so keep them coming in. Since a new hood is needed I've decided to repaint the entire car again. It currently has candy red flames and have decided to go a different way. Flames are nice but I've had them three years. So the first thing I'm going to do is start "DA"ing the car down then sanding and sanding and more sanding. Once it's in primer then I'll do the KB install then paint. Hope to have to whole thing done by the end of March. When I painted the car last time I did a step by step DIY poisting and may do it this time as well. We'll see how it goes.

Yep! Andy has a "Plug N Play" harness. We've used it and it's great! Plugs right in, no muss, no fuss!

The hood is fine but it's the OEM and I don't want to cut it. So when I get the supercharger I'll sell it to some lucky forum member.

Before you mini-tub take another look at rear fender flairs. The cost is similar. The flair kit is about $800 plus painting. It provides a great look and allows a huge lip with aftermarket rims, if your interested in going that route.

Pictured below is my ride on RR track with race wheel set up and with street Iforged set up. I have 345s in rear.
