We have put our s/c kits on vettes that were delivered straight from the dealership, lol.
Just follow the same break-in procedures and don't turn off the traction control.

Our V3 Si-trim would be a perfect combo for that 427. We have done that same setup many times over the years. We usually aim for no more than 600rwhp on stock internals. More has been done, but usually only when using Meth injection, race gas, E85, etc to keep octane requirements up to par.

Are there any other supporting mods you would recommend so I can put my power down the best(traction,susp. mods?)?

Pfadt has great choices when it comes to suspension upgrades depending on the budget. From the Johnny O'Connell pre-valved kits to big boy coilovers.

Headers? Longevity?
I recently purchased an A&A kit and can't wait to get it installed on my '11 GS when it arrives at the shop. A couple of questions, I noticed on the forum that a lot of users install headers with their kit. Is this something you recommend? Any pros / cons with this option? Also, what kind of long term mileage have your customers logged on your kits? I understand the driver's behavior affects engine life, even if left stock, but what is your experience on longevity? Thanks!

We have had clients with our S/C kit go 100,000 miles and one confirmed as high as 184,000 miles on stock LS1 engine. Our experience has been longevity is great!
But, I always tell guys. "If man made it, man can break it."

I have an 06 Z. I'm pretty sure I'll be making an order in the next couple of months. If just ordering the recommended kit with the 4" pull, any point in getting a meth kit? I'm at about 1560 above sea. Any harm in a smaller pully with a good meth kit?

If you don't want to do meth, you would still be good with a 3.8" on stock setup with a good tuner to dial it all in.

Our A&A Corvette S/C kit is the best bang for the buck in my opinion.
C6Z06 kit will pickup over 150rwhp+ and still drive like stock when cruising and then come alive when you floor it! No heat soak and our RamAir Intercooler keeps IAT's nice and cool. You can even let your Grandma drive it and get the same great gas mileage as before.
Unless of course your Grandma likes to do the standing mile racing events, lol.
Give me a call at the shop or send me an email if you have any more questions.

I bought a kit from you guys last summer. I had a problem after the car would get hot. Say driving in rush hour traffic for 45 minutes. Normally my fuel pressure would sit at 62psi at idle and drop maybe 5psi at most. When the car gets hot and I get on it the fuel psi will drop down to about 39. Any idea what is causing this? Maybe the fuel pump or boost a pump are getting heat soaked and causing failure? Trying to figure this out before spring.

Make sure you are not running the tank less than 1/4 tank of gas. Especially when using a BAP. The gas is what cools and lubricates the in-tank pump. I've seen them drop fuel pressure when run hard at 1/4 tank of gas, then fill it up with gas and make back to back runs and not drop fuel pressure.

6-rib version is $600
8-rib version is $750
There are several shops out there that have pushed these stock bottom-ends very hard using meth, E85, etc. I tell guys 700rwhp is doable with the understanding it's being pushed hard. But, shops have gone as high as 800rwhp with the understanding it won't last long, lol.

Yes we make our brackets that fit Procharger headunits for both C5s and C6s. It's a very popular item for those that need a upgraded bracket.
