Prochargers Stage 2 upgrade kit for the HO kit is not a bad deal at $695. Comes with the radiator cradle, the intake, filter assembly, larger pipe to the TB, new shroud, air dam, all harware, couplers and instruction manual

Because mine was a stage I and I went to the A&A bracket and it lines up in the same position to the tee
You can lower the radiator and use your stock airbridge or a home made one or call A&A and get his info on one
You will need to notch the top fins on the radiator to help it pass too.
Thanks,Matt

I have a stage I kit, but put it over. Lowered the radiator by moving it forward and welded it in place. My engine is the last one in post #1

I layed my Stag 1 down with the stuff from A&A and it worked fine using the old bracket. I am repl the bracket now, but not because of laying down the radiator. I also picked of 30 hp.

Here is a shot of a kit A&A used on theirs!
There is a member who has this plumbing that I was considering getting from him - pretty reasonable price too!
You would need to trim the upper radiator support
Thanks,Matt

I talked to Andy at A&A last week and he told me he was in the process of doing a newer better bracket for the Procharger. He didn't give me a specific date, but as soon as he could get some CNC time after doing the C6 one. If . . . . you can wait.

They offer 3 different stages i guess you can say, the stage 2 upgrade field service kit is part # 2GKSU-001 IS $695. Comes with radiator cradle, shroud, air dam, cooling line kit, pcv valve kit, air inlet tube and large filter, 3 1/2 inch upper I/C pipe to throttle body, a new horn relocation kit, AIR pump relocation kit, a bunch of couplers and clamps and a complete stage 2 instruction manual. really nice complete kit to do it.

I had sent him a pic of of his 2nd gen bracket to make sure it would work for me. He told me he was doing a new one which would be much better, but he didn't have a time and that it would be around $600. It was only $150 more than the one I was looking at, so I decided to wait.
