Just dropped off my z51 this morning for some elective surgery. The work and parts were coordinated through Paul on the forum. The shop that’s doing it seems to know what he’s talking about. I’m looking forward to some pictures once they get started. I will post when I get them. Also have an 8hour drive back home after it’s completed. Pretty excited about this!
I did the same thing here on my 2014 z51 car but I did the work but did get a good paint shop here to do all the painting of all the parts. Just one question here you couldn't find a good body & paint shop to do this work that is closer to you man. With just a few yes plastic tools to be able to pull a few panels off the car 15.00 for those per say that is all the tools other than a reg small tool box you would need.
Now the door panel that you have to break & pull apart from inside the door was a BEAR & make you worry a little plus gluing the new panels back into place also. But other then this piece of cake per say. I got a guy to help me break part of one door panel out cost was a six pack & he came back to help me put one side back into the car also.
Then 1800.00 for panel painting of new hood 2 front fenders 2 rear qts & the top piece on the rear bumper yes & gas door also...Robert
Do post pic's man you will love the looks of the car over the old one...

Not sure I’d feel comfortable letting a paint and body shop install my supercharger...

I agree so many guys doing the z51 body panels to make the car look like the z06. This was what I got in my head from just first read.. Yes a few guys has done the z06 blower set up in here but more than half of them guys have then chged that out to a f1a blower are some other blower set up.. My mistake on his post/// Robert
Finally! I finally have a few minutes to sit down and upload some pictures. So heres what we did.
2017 LT4 Supercharger
Z06 HPFP
Z06 Injectors
Z06 fuel hose
Mighty Mouse "mild" catchcan
Tuning by Paul @onebad1lE
Tomorrow Im installing the Granatelli Motorsports heat exchanger expansion tank.
The work was done at Triple Threat Racecraft, just North of Houston. I cant say enough good things about this place. Customer service was great and the quality of work is nothing less than impressive. I drove 8.5 hours from Alabama to have this conversion done. There was some delays with parts coming because of that dang hurricane. Dustin at TTR was aware of my situation and stayed working until midnight on the 5th day in order to finish so I could go home. He also has texted me multiple times to make sure everything is still like it should be.. Id definitely use these guys for all my car work, if I was closer....
Thanks again to onebad1lE - Paul also. He stayed late and ran all over the place to get the needed parts. He has also followed up with me several times since I left to make sure everything is going good still
Starting the conversion. Completed LT4 Conversion What I mostly did while waiting for the work to be completed...

There's my Rebecca Braun (I think) supercharger!! I was so good to her you got a good one there Mike! Just easy highway miles zero drag or track use. Good luck and yes Paul is a good guy. I spent two half days off work trying to pack all that up and shipping it to Paul, it was a LOT more expensive than we thought. Glad you are enjoying it Mike! That's what its all about. Thanks Paul..

Yep. Thats the one. I appreciate you working with Paul to get it all shipped. Glad to hear it hasn't been beat on in the past. I plan to be good to it also.
was on the dyno today.. Really thought Id see the 600s....car fell flat on its face (436Hp ). not enough fuel and took out 10* of timing.. Going to get it on a dyno and dyno tune it. Street tune is good for a baseline but Id recommend if you do this, you dynotune it. Will hopefully replace this crap number with something in the 600s
Another LT4 Stingray!
