I might have it sold, if it doesn't sell in the next week or two it's going on my car! Waiting on the car to hit 5k miles, sitting at 3500 miles in the month I've had her! Shouldn't be long!

So I finished it up last night! Pretty uneventful, a couple of tips are listed below:
Install the silicone 90 degree tube on the throttle body before the supercharger, it doesn't need to be in a precise position yet, it's just easier to get it on when you have a straight on shot.
Install the MAF onto the pipe before you install it into the car, if you install everything first and that tube is just a little out of alignment you wont be able to slide the MAF in.
I labeled ziploc bags with the page number and step number and then put the appropriate screws/bolts into them, seems simple, it just worked really well!

My thoughts exactly!
It's going to Pacific Raceways on Saturday, I should have some good video from that! Thanks for the interest in seeing how your product is doing!

You would be surprised how "divided" the masses are on the sound of a supercharger. Its literally so cut down the middle, we had to keep both versions around to make sure everyone would be happy. It means stocking more parts for us, and part numbers. But worth it in the end.

Options.... we love them.
(2) intercooler options, for how people want to use their C7 and get the best IAT's....
(2) gear box options, for how people want them to sound.
(3) different finishes, for those that want special looks.
(2) inlet options, for how people want it to look.
(15) different blowers fit in that bracket, for a customers power needs
So thats like 360 possible combinations for the C7 kit.
(Not even counting if someone wants black brackets, but a polished blower, or visa versa) LOL.

Feel your pain.... it seems every time we rent the track in advance it rains. (Thanks KS weather) However, can't complain this year has felt like we lived in Cali. 70's pretty much all the time.
Well, keep us in the loop, and best of luck at the track!

Did you find that the PCV venting/route/system supplied with the ProCharger system is not efficient and sufficient?

It seemed to me there was just rerouting of the lines to get the vacuum pressure from the hole in the new intake, not a new system that improves the ability to decrease the pressure under the valve covers. There was also an additional vacuum line ran to the surge system. I am sure the procharger guys tested the crap out of the PCV system, I'm just trying to learn form the mistakes of others. Thanks for the reply to the thread.
To date with our stock PCV system we have no had a single report of any seal issues, or ill effects with customers running our supercharger system.

We ran our stock PCV system in all of our road course testing, and well every mile that has been placed on the car. We did however purchase a LMR catch can, just to evaluate it, and to be able to speak clearly about them if a customer asks about them.

Still plenty of people daily driving these cars with our standard PCV system in place, with no issues so far reported.
