I want to do it if the price installed is right.
Where did he get it done? Did they tune his car?
Is it an A/T or MN6?
http://www.procharger.com/ says they are still not out yet.....
Hmmmmm

Let me see if i can answer all of this...
Procharger has not made a full install kit for it...So randy (friend and mechanic) Took a C5 Kit and made minor(i mean minor adjustments)and then ordered a customer mounting bracket from Andy (A & A) and installed that and it all bolted together no leaks or problems....
Now as for the dyno...
Randy said this car was more of a dyno car and a dealer ship sent it to him and in 90' sum hours had to fab a kit and install it and get it back to a dealer for sale...and sure enough randy took it back to the dealer it sold that day...never got time to the dyno...but i believe the customer is taking it back for dyno and etc..
But if interested call and ask for keith or randy @ 303-458-0832 they can get you all the info you will need i was just an eye witness!

that looks just like the kit that was installed and it is funny because i look at the air filter intake on this pic and that’s pretty much what randy did and so all i can say is he ran a 4.6 pulley on the D1SC to keep the boost as low as possible. Also he mentioned something about modifying the bracket a little because a bolt was hitting the bracket..? do you recall anything like that? But i do know he has let Andy in on all the little things that can be modified to make the install a precise fit!
Randy did mention tuning, but was very surprised that the ECM adapted very well to the new setup.

Im not bring any of the cars, Im flying again thank god, as soon as the Z1100 is tuned for RWHP numbers i will be draging it around the States again racing it just like the blue one. The only probelm i see with the stock 6.0 cid is we will have to run 110 octain to be safe with the 18 psi of boost it pushes from the F1R.
We have 3 other Z1100 under construction with the 427's in them we hope to get more power with a few better parts we are using now, here is a RWHP graph from one of our MDMC 427 tt 2003's with 10.5 psi of boost.

That is all that 427 combo with the small cam had in it, max power 6,200 rpms. As for blowing apart not with that bottom end and C5R race case we have never had that problem even over 1000RWHP. The quicker you get your power the better.

What kits do you have planned for the 6.0? Anything we can run on pump gas or we going to have to lower the CR to get real power?
