I just purchased an A an A kit from a forum member. How much HP should I expect from this? Also how much does installation cost for this type of setup?

Might want to post your question in the FI section
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-f...on-nitrous-86/
or do a search there for more information.

Do you have a coupe or Z06? Any mods yet or is your car totally stock? On a totally stock coupe I think you could expect around 480-500rwhp, give or take a bit depending on trim and boost. Also, dyno conditions vary as do type, so its really a just a tool like any other.

Ya know, ya might want to talk to Andy at A&A or email him, he is great to talk to and can answer any questions you might have.

Until you answer the amount of boost question, I can tell you that 500-550rwhp is not uncommon. I don't recommend you run more than about 10psi and highly recommend a good meth kit for safety. Methanol injection will add a huge safety margin in there for you and allow for a little more boost if you get addicted like the rest of us boost junkies.

According to the A&A Website the base kit adds approximately 175rwhp on a stock vehicle. If you have other mods or someone changed the pulley to build more boost it could produce more.

How much boost should be a safe amount?

I am no expert but by doing a quick search it seems 7-8lbs is safe with a good tune and 9-10 lbs with a good tune and meth. You definately just don't want to slap that thing on there. I would definately contact one of the vendors here.

With a 4.10-4.25" pulley you should see around 8-10psi with a rather stock car. Add meth and a good tune and you should see around 500rwhp.

Im hoping to make around 500 with the D1, this may be a crazy question but what is the purpose of meth and also will I gain rwhp if I add it?
