I used a modified stock turbo 400 crossmember after ordering the S&P unit. In my experience / opinion, the 400 looks a little beefier and required about as much effort to install. Basically you have to reverse the location of the trans mount from the rear to the front (e.g. grind to remove and reweld) and drill a couple of new holes to bolt to the subframe. Here's a pic...

LOL - whats your SN on CorvetteForum?

I want to say I saw your SN in the forced induction section - I've been lurking over there looking for a hybrid LS2/LS3 Edelbrock setup for my CNC ported L92 heads! Haha.

Also - I'm an idiot - just remembered I PM'd you last week - lol!

Hey Matt - if you haven't checked out the Run thru the Hills event over on Pro-Touring.com - you really should.

I went to it last weekend and had a hell of a time. Your Blown Camaro definitely fits in - and they where pretty cool even accepting this noob with a c6.... lol!

Default Couple of questions....

What are you doing about crankcase ventilation?

Have you hooked up the cruise control?

This is an awesome package and I'm thinking of this setup for my car.
