Boost....what's that The Dewitt's worked pretty well for me on the street. Track days is peak heat in the summer is where it fell short. Doug worked me up a new cooling system that has yet to fall short even on the hottest days. Enjoy

So how much boost does it give you and what power level are you at? Looks like it was a fun project.

It isn't. It is right where Vortech designed them to be. This is obviously an original Vortech system.

I think my brother got his Vortech for his C5 from Andy out there in Northern California, (couple of years ago), but damn, I thought it was on the passenger side also.

George, more RWHP now!

Nice. I have a A&A kit with the air to air intercooler (theirs) and a
stock raditator. I live in Florida and have no coolling problems
even with the air conditioner running all the time. I think A&A
kit is simpler and better for me.
