It's Prochargers kit for a Corvette, and that decision was fortuitously driven by my earlier decision to use a GM Vette accessory drive. I needed to get the alternator away from the steering box. As a side note, there is room for an AC compressor down by the passenger side crossmember.
The inlet sizes for the SC (3-1/8) and the intake (4) had me using a bunch of adapters and clamps which really proved to be a PITA because the boost kept blowing the connections apart. A buddy of mine (Kyle at Laidback Recreations) fabbed the tubing up for me. He also made the radiator hold down and fan shroud.
Speaking of saving room, you'll notice there is no power brake booster. When you use a Wilwood master cylinder with a 7/8 bore with their brakes the pedal feel is very much like it was power assisted. I can't recommend that enough.
