Thanks! Glad I could be of some help

Regarding the fuse box it is not exposed, I have driven in rain a few times with no issues, it is high enough that unless you're cruising thru a flood you'll have no issues and if you're doing that you'll probably have bigger problems than the fuse box ha

Yes they make a 2200 I believe, depends on your type of build. I was good with the smaller 1500 because my goal was 600 and reliability and nothing more than 10psi. I have used the big centrifugals with cog drives (YSI vortech) at 15+ psi and it was crazy power but I went thru belts every track day and had other issues. These 1500's (ultimately a T trim vortech I believe) are great for a mild build like this.

This would work on a LS6 too, correct?

If I'm remembering correctly from my chat with them a while ago it also fits the ls6.

Update on the RMCR Paxton kit:

After about 6k miles on the setup I got an offer to sell the entire kit to a gentleman in North Carolina. The kit is being removed now and sent out tomorrow.

Worked flawlessly, absolutely loved the power/reliability. (always have the itch for more HP)
If anyone has any questions about it please ask

Looking like new build to come, tempted to sell the car but I don't think I can part with it. I've had multiple lighter/higher HP cars c5z and c6z (7-800whp) with blowers/ single turbo but there is seriously something special about these V1's. I go through cars a lot but I think I'll hold on to this one (had it for almost 3 years which may be a record).

Keep the V1 legacy strong!

do you happen to have a dyno graph of before you were running the Paxton? my setup is extremely close to that and would like to see your graph.

thanks.

Yes, I dug this up from the previous owner. Seems a little low but this was with 243 heads and an unknown Cam (nitrous grind) , headers/exhaust

Interesting this got bumped nearly a year later. I very rarely lurk around here, but it still lives along with my original motor. I've put significant R&D into this and converted to 8 rib and added a secondary tensioner.
