Will this fit the Vette LS1? What kind of bump would this give me over stock? How hard would it be to install?

Re: Edumacate Me (1997C5VTBOY)
that is correct...it will not fit. Reason...mostly only brackets which is the main
reason the unit application for the c5 is over 6k :crazy:

You could make you own brackets but, these are must be precession cut
and measured brackets. If you read thru the C5 forced induction, you will find that some if the issues is belt slippage..etc All the bugs are not out of
most of the units from what i read.
I have two good friends who did modify brackets but they were for much
simplier applications! One was a 1968 olds 442 and one was a 1980 pontaic Trans-Am. I assisted on the install. Yes, it can be done but with much time
to loose. You would rather be driving the working.
If you would like to get a used unit, I would check ebay every so often. Last
week a used C5 Carol unit (complete) was sold for $4k. (great deal)
Item # 2403618806
The worst thing that could happen is the main bearing is shot which can
be overhalled for a small ammount of $ from the factory.
good luck..
:D
