Installed my ATI/ProCharger P1SC Stage II system Dec 5, 2005...9600 trouble-free miles since...29,000 miles currently on Vette. No clutch, tranny, or rear end problems...all stock. Best investment to get 500rwhp & still get 32 mpg on hwy miles ...and, it performs flawlessly! See my signature for complete set up...

Reviewed as much information as I could on various models and settled on Kenny Bell for my stock 02, ZO6. In over a year and a half I have had no problems....and you will get more than 500 rwhp in a ZO6.

I did mine in a single garage with normal tools that most of us have...did have to buy a socket or two and a unusual tool here and there.

Think I have the 8th unit produced by KB....at least for me the support was great. I definate made the right decision.
