100% for fbodies.

For corvette, it was a late kit to be developed. A lot of the Corvette shops where only making Procharger kits for a long time. A good number of those shops have moved over to Vortech or Novi kits, but still do sell some Procharger kits though.

You have to cut the hood, shim the k member down and shave some of the top of the case in some installs. They are great head units, we have 3 cars here that have it done and each one is in the 750+ range at 13-15 psi.

Procharger changed a lot of policies and pricing for distributors/dealers and that rubbed a lot of them the wrong way, so they moved to other manufacturers. I think that was about 3 to 4 years ago.
