Pretty sure they can develop a hood for the G as well.

I'm just not in to the home-brew look (especially on a 50K+ car) and I no longer have time to engineer my own solution (yes, I used to make hoods). Given I also have a 7AT and not a manual, it'd actually be less expensive for me to just "upgrade" to a Q60RS and transfer my wheel, brake and suspension package over to it, add a few choice exhaust components and call it a day. Or wait two+ years for the new Z.

But I do look forward to the first G slapping this kit on. I'm just not willing to drive around with a half-assed hood after spending north of 10K on this kit and transmission upgrades. No compromise.

But I absolutely think this is a killer idea and cannot wait to see a few customer cars rocking this kit.

100% agree. And I didn't mean for my post to sound as snarky as it does when i reread it. I was going to see about picking up a spare hood from a wreaked G and see what might be doable. And by "see" I mean have someone with artist skill and bodywork experience do it for me. I also do not want a half-assed hood, and sadly think most the offered hoods for are cars look like crap still. It's going to be a pain to find a design I think I can live with for the extra that will need to be spent.

One thing I've noticed about this Z demographic is that we do our best to mod into completion. In my opinion, if you get any forced induction kit you'll be one of the rare owners that doesn't value stance/wheels/poor drive-ability over performance.

Have you seen the latest "Z owners" its all about "stance life" poked wheels and assorted gayness that goes with it. I can count on maybe one hand the amount of performance oriented Z's at MD car shows than the show boaters....SMH

Looks great!

Any updates on hood/front strut bar options?

Any new details on the capacity of the water pump or the heat exchanger?

Really glad to see this project coming together :tup:

Same as Jordo.....any up-dates?

I'm down for some more hood shots

I am doing the hood for them. I am waiting on the donor hood. It should be here in the next week or two then it's down to putting together a physical prototype. As for the supercharger progress I sat in on one of their development meetings Friday... the models look great! They are working on the small details now. They plan on doing a crank pulley for stock cranks and for the ati super dampener.it will be an option to choose one or the other. I would highly recommend going with the super dampener! So the crank pulleys and fuel system should be done this week. They have also bought and setup a new 3D printer and are printing everything to test fit in house. Expect to see some pics late next week or the following week of the 3D printed parts.

Awesome man thanks for the update

Any thoughts on scoop styles. Maybe post some thoughts and see what people think.

I think the Camaro SS style would make the most sense. IMO

Any hood scoop that tapers back down toward the windshield look terrible on the Z IMO.

I am definitely looking forward to seeing how this kit turns out!!
