Default C5/Z06 Vortech supercharger coming soon!

Vortech will soon have a kit available for the C5 and Z06. This kit will include an Aftercooler, upgraded injectors (either 38 or 42#), upgraded programming and everything that will be needed for a top quality install. They are planning on using either a V1 or V2 SQ head unit that will produce about 8# of boost. This kit is in the final stages of development and there is a 2002 Z06 running around with one of the prototypes. I've been told that the car is a blast to drive. More details will be posted on our website as they are available. We are also taking names of people that are interested in getting one of the first kits when they become available. This can be done by e-mailing tbyrne@tbyrne.com. We will provide you with introductory pricing when it's available.

Have a good day,
Tom

I'm thinking about the ability to run low compression and lots of boost (and how the current fbody V9-G trims won't support the boost a lot of people are looking for).

Thanks!
