The trans coolers are not for sale as they will be serving a different duty now.

My 8 rib ECS Paxton Novi 2000 supercharger kit is up for sale though. It is NOT for a stock bottom end Vette, but if you already have a forged engine, this would be a killer combination at 16+ psi of boost.

8 rib system - 3 inch head unit pulley with Innovators West 10% overdrive crank pulley, all ECS 8 rib system otherwise.

Unlikely. Cajundude's engine is getting ready to drop in his Vette so we should have his car done in a few weeks. We disassembled his car a year ago! We never have any time to work on our own cars anymore.

Stephen,
I hope you find some time to re-assemble that beast. It was sure great to see your shop and meet you and Jason. You guys inspire me to swap out my motor with my forged 346 and dial up some boost!
Still I will not run with you guys, you are extreme.

Stephen, long time man, doubt you remember me but my cousin had his vette @ your shop for a few days(blue Z06, wilson manifold C5R) in Vero. Nice to see you guys are doing well.

selling the blower?...trans coolers being used for something else,...going rear mount turbo?

I hope to see it on the road soon. I remember selling you a predator hand held programmer for it way back in the early years. Wish you would've stayed in Florida. A lot closer than Taxas.

Sure I remember you - white Procharged Vette. I remember that your cousin was gung-ho on tralioring his C5R Z06 all the way to MTI in Houston to do all of his tuning and work... wouldn't let me touch his car.

Funny how that all worked out - MTI is gone and we get almost all of their business now

I remember - 7 years ago. Only after I bought the Predator, did I find out how useless it was - paid for it to be unlocked and sold it.

Yeah, that was me, procharged at the time. Josh(cousin) was super happy with there work,...which he had done years before I started to get big into LSX's... and the time he took it to your shop,..I was two hours away and unable to touch it at the time. I think his confidence level in people was not too high, including in myself. Once he started see my capability,...now him and I only work on the cars, all in house. With MTI, he spent alot of money on the car initially,... and did have a good thing with them while certain people were still in house.

Congrats on grabbing the customers...when you left, I think I picked up a couple of yours. lmao.

i'm playing man. Josh is good though,...soon,..that car will be well known again. Glad your doing well, looking forward to seeing what you are going to put on the car for FI.

peace out.
