Default Awsome!!!!!!!!

I would kill to have that kit. Cant wait to see what you get out of it. I have an 04 C5 and have been contemplating ordering the kit, but i have a deal working for a A&A procharger kit for a great price(used). But if it falls through I might still go with the KB.

Good luck, I am sure it will be awsome.

Nice choice going FI instead of the bolt-on/cam route, much more torque in comparison.

I'd rather a KB or a Maggie over any others (A&A, Vortech, Procharger) because it's so much simpler to install and work around, plus it's so much easier when you have to drop the whole drivetrain for clutch repairs, etc.

Very sweet, curious, how much was the total $$ with the hood and the details (boost-a-pump, etc?)

Less than I expected...

Worth every penny. You'll likely never get close to it's full limits... (1,000hp)

Congrats. Now comes my favorite part.. the install.

tell me about it. the instruction manual is almost an inch thick that's no ****. plus i'm going to be doing it on jackstands, but no matter... it'll be worth it in the end.

that price was without the flash tuner, which was supposed to be with it. the original price was $7264 shipped but for some reason he took the tuner off i gave them a call about it today, really don't want to ship my pcm to them but i guess somehow he figured that was what i wanted.

The 'Vette's gonna be down for a while anyway, no harm no foul to ship the PCM out, you'll have it back with plenty of time to spare.

Nice choice!

I will always wonder what would happen if I would have chosen that route...

I couldnt IMAGINE the torque down low, you'll love it!

yes on the rk sport hood, still waiting on it rk sport makes it for kb and it is included in the price. it's also the only one that fits with a kb to my knowledge. i know i read that somewhere, but it could have been wrong.

i'll definitely post vids and pics and stuff when i get it on. with my work schedule right now... i won't even get started on it until mon/tues, then it should get finished up fri/sat/sun. hopefully

here she is all exposed and naked like

If you need it tuned let me know! We can take care of that, you dont want a mail order tune with that monster!
