A&A F-Body Vaccum pump kit installed Charlie,
I just finished installing your kit on my 02 427 SS. It fits perfect with the A/C. There are no major issues with clearance for the F-body. We had to adjust the radiator and heater hoses, but not a big deal. No cutting, grinding, welding, or fabrication, just bolt in and build your lines. Makes GREAT vacuum !! I highly recomend this kit to anyone.

I think it was around 800. Check with Charlie at A&A corvettes on official price. We just Dynoed the car yesterday and we seen an 18 hp gain at 17 inches of vacuum.

How much did it cost, if you don't mind saying?

I don't think the main goal is HP/ET gains, the pump setup costs around $1000 IIRC.

JoeyGC5, 1 to 2 inches at idle and up to 19 at 6800 rpm, on street setting. 5 to 7 at idle and 32 at 6800 rpm on race setting. Also the HP gain we saw was on the street setting!!
SmaknaSS, My car is also a street car but we have only had it on for about 2 weeks.

I was told not to use my aerospace pump on the street because it could cause some oil starvation issues with my piston pins etc.. also its just like any other pump.. It will wear out over time..
