Z06 supercharger on a Z51

I'm by no means a mechanic and from what I saw yesterday, I'd strongly recommend jobbing the install out. There's boxes of parts, full of who knows what. Nik, I think you probably nailed it. The aftermarket SC that I went with requires no hood modifications. That sold me right there.
One thing you may want to consider is exhaust. For that true ZO6 experience your stock system will need to be changed.
My Z51 stock exhaust is coming out, headers, and x pipe is going in for that extra 50 hp for 670 total.
I'm laying out about 18k for everything and most of that is labour.
Get yourself a quote and if it's below 18 k it's good deal going with the OEM SC.
save some of your old parts they are worth money especially the exhaust. I might be able to store the exhaust until you sell it. Jeff
 
... just wondering if this is Rick's idea instead of considering the "electric powered Corvette" .... :Shrug2:

... Love it :D as Rick's idea only needs one Charging ;)
 
Everything's coming home with me Jeff. Thanks for the offer but I have room here.

Looks like you are going to need the Crusader Cross for your car now too Rick. I will see what Michelle has. The 600Hp club is pleased to have you onboard.
... vanity plate suggestion time ? ...

not only the SG to the Ray but maybe you put it all on your Charge Card too ?​


Perhaps... SHTSFUL (SHORTS FULL)

Hey DDHRocks!
I'm sure the SC off the LT4 will be fine and Steve will be able to make it work as he is very good at what he does. His Z51 previous to his Z06 was boosted with the Procharger (as I am sure you know), and it did well, so I suspect the same will be true with your car being able to handle the boost off the LT4's unit. I think it would be awesome to open the hood on the Z51 and see the LT4 supercharger sitting there. Super unique and OE which is quite awesome. Sourcing a Z06 hood shouldn't be too difficult or you could take the time to find a really nice aftermarket hood.
Totally an awesome project. I look forward to seeing it get built.

Nice find with the LT4 vids Derek!
 
to me it is all about the look and the drive

dyno is ok to look at but does not interest me other than to make sure it actually is in the ball park with what has been advertised

you are getting close to being finished, hard to fall asleep I bet,

hard for me and got no skin in the game

this is fun, buy more stuff next month please
