-Installed by England Green
-Radiator Cover is from A&A Corvette Kit, i'm sure he would sell you one.
-Install costs (including extras and missing minor parts from the used kit) was $1700 in the end
-Total $$$ spent on the project was UNDER $6,000 for Install, Tune, Blower kit, ATI balancer, transmission cooler, gauges, etc.
-No idea on actual numbers. Andy at A&A used the 4.10 pulley in his base kit for a4 coupes, and saw around 7psi and 470-480rwhp. I have full exhaust so I should be close to 500rwhp. I didn't want to wait longer for a dyno session, I don't care about numbers, only what happens when I put my foot into it.

Will give it a real test run some night this week and post a thread with my impressions.

If any of you are thinking of a blower, England Green is a great guy to deal with and is running a special on the ECS Novi 2000 kit installed. You can find him easily in the c5 Forced Induction section at corvetteforum.
