Quick update - with the help of a buddy - I got the supercharger in.

The blower itself is pretty dang heavy and definitely needed an extra hand to get it on top of the motor.

I need to finish up the PCV lines, install the fuel rail/injectors - and install the coolant lines.

I'll finish up the install next week.

Now for the pics:

Looks Awesome. Congrats

Nice job. Cant wait to hear about the added power.

Nice work! I can't wait to hear how you like the new power adder.

Thanks everyone!

I finally got back to the Vette - I got the intercooler hoses run, the PCV hoses, as well as the Evap Solenoid hooked up as well.

I still need to install the fuel rail, injectors, as well as finish up the air intake/sensors install.

After that - I need to drain the coolant and replace the T-stat seal that is leaking - then install the belt.

Put fluids in it and it should be good to fire it off. Hopefully I can finish that in the next day or so.

Quick update - I got all of the plumping, fuel rails, injectors, and all the wiring and sensors finished last night.

I still need to install the belt, and drain the coolant - and replace that Theromstat housing gasket as well - I hope to finish that off tonight and fire the car off.

I also found my Power Steering tank leaking - figures. So I went ahead and ordered a new tank and hose the connects to the pump. Thankfully that is on top of the motor and access is pretty easy to get to.

My tune is on 3/14 - and so far so good.

Here is a pic with the fuel rail covers on it:

2 steps forward - 2 steps backward.

That is todays update.

I got the coolant drained - and replaced that leaking T-stat gasket.

I then tried to fire the car up - it fires up - and dies right away.

So I know its getting fuel, and spark. But its on the stock tune - and the MAP sensor is now a 2 bar Ford map sensor - and the MAF is now an LS3 unit. There is no hope of the car running without getting it tuned.

I spoke with my tuner - and they recommended I upgrade my injectors as the 60 lb / hr wouldn't keep up with all the mods that I have done to the motor - so I have a set of those on the way.

I also swapped out the stock 3.875" pulley to a 3.25" pulley - as I am going to lose boost with the ported heads and the long tubes. After dropping down the pulley size - I looked and saw the belt now rubbing on the water pump. I called Edelbrock and the recommended a 101.7" length belt.

Doing some research I found that Edelbrock redesigned there tensioner cast aluminum bracket - as well as upgraded the tensioner itself. Since I am a bit over a week away - I found there upgrade kit and ordered it on Amazon - and I ordered that belt size.

The Edelbrock kit/belt should get here on Sunday.

So pending everything arrives next week - I need to:

Install new injectors.
Install new Edelbrock tensioner/belt.
Install new PS tank and hose.
Adjust rubbing exhaust.
Adjust front coilovers - might need to raise them with the added weight of the blower.

Now for teh pics:

So I finished up the blower install last week.

I put the 3.25" pulley on there - and installed a 102.5" belt along with the new Edelbrock tensioner - everything fit great.

I also installed the new 95 lb / hr injectors.

My Power Steering tank and hose came in yesterday - and I got those installed today.

I refilled the tank - and back the car outside by hand. I got it half way turned around in my driveway and realized I couldn't push it anymore.

So for sh*ts and giggles I turned on the car - it fired up right away and the 15 feet I had to back it up and do a 3 point turn - it ran just fine.

I'm not going to risk it - so I have a tow truck coming in the morning to take it to the tuner.

I finalized the install today - zip tied a few wires out of the way and finished everything up.

I also ordered a set of Holley LS Valve covers that look sweet. It will clean up the engine bay - and get rid of those goofy Edelbrock fuel rail covers (that fit like sh*t too)!

I'll report later on what the final dyno numbers are.

This morning I had the Vette towed to PCM of NC - they are going to dyno tune it over the next couple of days. I should get it back by Wed.

Also - I finally got the proper length pipe for my cheap foam cannon. The thread on the pipe is BST - and I had to order it from McMaster Carr - as I couldn't find any other vendors that carried it.

I tested out the cannon with some cheap Armor All generic car soap - and it worked great.

I got the dyno results - 580 rwhp / 523 rear torque.

I am pretty impressed - as I had no idea what it would put down.

I should get the car Friday morning - I'll post initial thoughts.
