Default Vortech YSI Question

I have been running a g-trim vortech supercharger on my 99 Z/28. I recently purchased a YSI Head Unit off of a friend. I wanted to know how the YSI Head unit installation will work. I know that there is suppose to be different mounting brackets for the YSI head unit to mount it to the cylinder head and block. Where can I purchase this bracket? I wanted to see if anyone could post pics of there YSI Vortech Kit on here so I could get a better feel for how to install this. I have heard there is a bunch of different problems I could encounter and just wanted to get some help from the fellow ls1 tech rodders.

You may want to call speed inc for some advice/parts as they seemed to push the YSI setup back when I was shopping for my procharger.

I meant back a few years ago when I was shopping for a procharger or vortech setup, speed inc seemed to recommend the YSI kits the most when it came to centrifigal superchargers. So I'm guessing they have some experience and can help you with what you need.

RMCR makes the brackets for mounting the T-trim and YSi blowers. They are not sponsors yet. But you can look them up online or on Vortechs site.

Rocky Mountain Competitive Research, And Speed Inc. was using Z8's Bracket which mounts it about where the Procharger is. Like I mentioned in the other post.

That looks like their T-Trim setup. Their YSi setup mounts the blower in the same place, the discharge tube just sits up higher.

i know the blower sits about 3/4" higher than the T-trim. On a camaro you will need a different hood.

My G-Trim barely clears the SS hood. The T-Trim sits higher than the G-Trim, and so on for the YSi.

Last I remember, the RMCR T-Trim kit was roughly $4000. That included the blower, pulley, brackets, spacers, inlet tube, belt, oil line, and all necessary hardware.
