Sounds cool but,...in a nonpingaheaded kind of a way...why would you go from a big frame turbo, to a belt driven blower? Did the belt driven blower, to the turbos,...I wouldn't go any other way now. Just curious to your insight/want to change setups. Not busting *****,...just trying to understand the setup. Was it not driveable before with the turbo for some reason? Or is the F2 that much better then your old turbo? what turbo was it by the way?

The turbo setup was awesome, but in the summer without the A/C I was fighting overheating issues. The turbo was making alot of power for sure, but the car weighed 4000lbs. With the vette and the blower setup, we can still achieve our HP goals while keeping the A/C and not have to worry about overheating or fabricating anything out of the norm. The turbo was EZ 94mm with the billet impellar. I would install it in the vette, but I don't want to deal with all the underhood temps again. That **** gets hot lol. This new setup will be something we can drive to the track and race and drive home with the A/C .Besides, the wife really wants the vette.. LOL!
Thats cool man. I see your point(s).

Thanks guys!!!
Not sure if I mentioned it, but my wife and had not purchased the vette yet. we were looking for the best deal for what we are going to do. We found the vette last night, BUT it is a 05 C6 with the auto and only has 12,000 miles on her. The car is silver and looks brand new! So I guess i need to change the title to our C6 build. I will post pics and build pics as we go still.!

My wife and I have decided to build a corvette and keep this setup for for the street and some track day pass's and the LSX Shootout!
Here is the combo
My Current LSX427
ETP 265cc heads
Custom comp Soild roller Cam
Procharger F2 head unit
Cartek Flip Drive
ASP Cog drive pulley setup for the blower
Transmission is undecided as of now???
Here is some pics of my motor,
The blower and everything else is on order and should be here in a few weeks. With this motor and my 94mm turbo@ 22psi. we had a little over 1400hp, so withe F2 if we can get close, I will be happy!
