Default 2005 Vette A&A blower install

Well, just dropped off my Vette @ Lethal Performance here in San Antonio. They received the A&A T-trim blower kit today. Its going on with my current mods, pulley should make 8# boost depending on how it reacts to my mods. I'm hoping for 570 rwhp. I've never seen an A&A kit in person and boy it sure does look pretty. LOL

Engine compartment (sorry, its dusty, its been sitting, post-install will be cleaner)




Various parts:








I'll update this thread as I get pics. I'll stop by the shop on Thursday or Friday after work to take some in-progress pics.

Supposedly they are going to have a very sexy woman at the shop all day, modeling..scantily clad, so yea..I'll be there.

I have a 05 C6 A4 with a Vortech S/C 3.8 pulley and no other mods to the engine. I have just under 11LBS of boost and putting out 561 RWHP. I also have methanol 50/50 spray coming on at 4 lbs of boost.
The car runs like stock until it gooes into boost...
You'll need new rear tires to hold a straight line.

It'a all in a SAFE tune. I left some HP on the table to help save the engine. Hope the tranny will hold up for awhile

thats the same thing the shop told me..they said it'll make more than that but since my bottom end is stock, they'll keep low to be safe. Sounds good to me!

You will need methanol for safety and HP...if you go 100% meth you will gain a lot of HP. My C5 was 100% with 8lbs of boost and it had 556RWHP, but it also had LT LG headers, a 04 ZO6 cam and Patriot heads milled to 62 cc.
The C6 has no mods and with just the Vortec and good tune with 50/50 Meth it has awesome HP...
If done right you will be very happy.

I had a 4.0 pulley on my Vortec and it barely made 500 RWHP....I think it was the tunner. After changing to the 3.8 pulley it went to 547RWHP. I took it to the final tunner and he got me the 561 RWHP.
