No issues since install and I havent put a catch can on yet but I more than likely will go with the LMR now that they have relocated the breathers and I like the work they do.

I have not had the car on a Dyno yet but I can say It runs door to door with a stock ZR1. That's with Procharger's own tune that they admit is conservative.

Took myself and two other guys about one full day to tackle this one on a four post lift. It's really straight forward, just time consuming because you pretty much have the entire front end off of the car.

The kit the way I ordered it is a complete sleeper. Only really keen car guys will know what you have under the hood. If you want to really hear the supercharger get the straight cut gears and the Big Red BOV. I like it the way I ordered it because its not obnoxious but there are just random times when you hear the surge valve open up or the faint whistle of the blower which reminds me its there and every time I grin.
I ordered mine today with BIG RED and loud blower..should be a blast

My question is will I win a drag race against a stock c7z?.Time will tell

You should Paul with a stock c7 z06. Get you a set of aftermarket rear axles for the car. These c7 one's are crap and plus hollow in the center. Robert

Paul get a diff converter in the car, the stock one in the auto is crap for a 60ft time. Circle D has just came out with one for the a8 cars in billet looks like a work of art.
