I assume you did this without price in consideration, more to see what it took to get it done since you obviously have a lot of mechanical and engineering talent.

Bought the entire LT4 setup for $2500
That included blower with 2.38 upper pulley, factory crank pulley, front heat exchanger and shroud, factory brackets and pullies, coolant reservoir with all lines and intercooler pump with belt. Thought is was a steal so I jumped on it... Seen several other members now selling there blowers for $2500 lately so that may be the norm!

Since I'm a wet sump and ALL z06s are Dry sump I ordered an ATI wet sump pulley (I think it was $300) and then to make spacing right on the blower ordered a .5 inch aluminum universal spacer and slotted to the holes to work with the ATI/blower pulley.. ATI blower pulley was $150.

Most will probably just use the Lt4 valley plate... I didn't want to suck oil in through the blower spin just used the stock lt1 and modded the end. This way I can still pull crank case pressure while using a catchcan inline. I think z06 valley is around $130 if I'm not mistaken?

The edelbrock coolant tank was $60 roughly and I doubled the capacity of the fluid, plus makes maintenance easy. And the edelbrock coolant pump and wiring harness from caspers was roughly $150. Harness is plug and play very easy, pump is super quiet.

I would say I have around $3300 probably. Could be done cheaper if a dry sump

Wow that is a smoking good deal.


But you may feel bad, you could have spent $6,500 on some super duper exhaust instead


What would you think it would take differently to do this to a Camaro LT1? Assuming it fit under the hood.

Great job! I've been wondering about doing this instead of just trading up to a Z06. I would really like to keep my car and go FI either with this blower or A&A. Just for the simple fact of being in California, we have to deal with CARB and SMOG. Would this LT4 setup pass SMOG on an LT1, if anyone knows? Thanks!

Andy makes an awesome kit, had a TI before this blower, but never had the chance to install it....
Considering this is an OEM blower, shouldn't have issues passing


As far as fitting in an lt1 Camaro, I'm not sure? Haven't had the opportunity to mess with one yet, but I'll take a look when I do... I don't see it being an issue.. Appears the supercharger lid on the zl1 is taller than the vette.... Worse case just out a vette cover on the top for extra clearance

Yeah, I've been dead set on an A&A since they got CARB approved. But, this makes me wonder...can't lose both my warranty and SMOG-ability. At least I know I can get it registered with Andy's kit. Thanks, I'll keep an eye on your thread.

I have the part numbers for the pump, harness, and tank from edelbrock... Just have to look them up...

Here is quick comparison between the factory blower and the ported version I did..

Anyone have any questions on taking the blower apart, let me know, it's pretty straight forward...
I ended up porting the case, snout, runners, and just a clean up on the discharge area (mainly rounding it)
