This goes out to Doug@ECS or any others out there with an ECS supercharger kit. I was pretty dead set on an ECS kit up until I saw how A&A added a shroud to their intercooler to help route air into due to the horizontal placement of the intercooler. This type of placement is the only thing about the whole kit that I was worried about, not getting enough air into the core while the car is actually in motion. Just wondering if anybody could shed some light on this subject for me.

We tested it both ways and Procharger did as well. There was no significant difference in either direction so we left the radiator as unobstructed as possible.
Just like the "Ram air" term thrown around for years with the C6 kit even though our intercooler flows better and independent dealers did back to back IAT testing on them as well. Results, no difference.
However "Ram Air" sounds cool, so congrats on good marketing I guess, but we make cars fast, period.
That all said, if you prefer that design no problem! We make our kit ourselves, it's not farmed out. I would be happy to make yours that way. No additional charge either.
Same with the balancer, we have NEVER had an issue with our lower pulley and it's easier to install, but if you prefer a replacement balancer we have that option as well because that's how our 2200R kit comes.
We aim to please, without gimmicks or marketing schemes.
Keep in mind that there is a good reason why most of the top shops on this board use our products.
Had the 2014 Z51 retuned today. Car has had top end done and stock bottom end. While the car did put down 606whp and 530wtq, my tuner did notice some pretty high AITs during WOT pulls. While it was pretty warm today, mid 80s, we saw AIT going into 155s-160 range.
Wondering if there is something to install onto the car to redirect airflow for better cooling. Not trying to make a dedicated track car, but I would like to see better temps out a kit that looks great.
