Oh boy that would warm my heart. Them and ECS both have affordable kits. I used Andy at A&A for my C5 and my C7. For me it was all about being CARB legal at the time. I have a Maggie on the Camaro and love the thing but **** for my C8 its twice the price before labor or tuning. I would gladly drop my car off at A&A for a month. LOL Give me a call Andy/Josh I'll jump on i5 tomorrow. HAHAHAHA
I've done a few procharger kits. Making a kit is not easy at all for these. Have to do air/water with an intake. jack shaft the belt system ect. Thats why ecs and a+a haven't bothered. A cheap kit would probly be 14-16k.
I know its wishful thinking. You can see my cars in my sig. The C7 now has a fully built motor and should make closer to 800 wheel with the bigger blower, fueling, etc. With all that said, I still feel from 0-75 my C8 without the nitrous will walk both of my other cars. Once they hook, sure they will blow its doors off, but by that time the fun is over. LOL This is the first time I have not voided a warranty or have smog issues. I am leaving the C8 alone at this point. Maybe have the intake port matched to my ported tb and NX plate which is either 91mm or 95mm. Otherwise enjoy. At the price of a blower might as well, sell and get a Z06 or Eray.

That's where they've lost most of us on forced induction is the cost. It costs double and triple what we paid for with our C7's.
At those high prices, they limit their customer base. 14-16k, I bet there would be a crap load of customers (double and triple your sales) compared to the other companies.

I wouldn't say we "haven't bothered", we just went with turbo's on the C8 because it just makes sense. Same as how a centrifugal makes the most sense on the earlier models. At the moment we have the only emissions friendly TT kit on the market, but the cost is drastically higher. To make one set of manifolds it takes 40 man hours of machining and welding the billet stainless steel and that's just one component of it.

Hands down the best TT layout confirmation. Appears everything is below the strut bars so it will work with HTC?

40 hours sounds like a lot. Does it have to be so manual of an effort?
