Doesn't take much to satisfy you I see. Since that build does nothing for me, I could care less and am annoyed that it might be slowing down progress on something that is important to me.

well this project could be important to others and they could be annoyed that the SC kit is slowing down their project. There is a balance to everything.

If we compared the number of people seriously interested in superchargers with the number of people seriously waiting to do a 1000hp build, you would see your balance shift one direction dramatically.

maybe so but you may not understand the recognition a 1000 hp Z can bring to the company. Its not always about you man.

I'm assuming that the S/C will easily work with your HD cooler. Hopefully we'll see how it matches with your exhaust components, good luck!

Have no idea...I'm still debating if I should put the stock cats back on.

I decided last minute that I wanted to really learn the ins and outs of this project and I'll be doing the install myself with my best friend. Probably will take us 2 weeks with work and all but should be a great experience.

I'll be sending out the ECU stuff to Sam tonight.

EDIT: I should say, I am confident its going to work fine with the HD cooler, but I'm also going to go a bit custom in the placement of where it goes. I'm even entertaining the thought of the Zele front bumper for the purpose of more air flow/different placement possibilities.

The reason you want to switch back to the stock cat is it because too much air flow and not be able to hold boost? Because I am interested in the SC kit, but I'm running test pipes too, I don't know if my exhaust set up right now is the best for the SC kit. You think switch to HFC will work?

Still a bit premature to say for sure.

If you reall want to approach it that way, try it with the cats first, dyno it, look at your boost, then put the stock cats back on, dyno it and look at boost again. You'll find that with the cats, you make more hp with less boost. Put the more restrictive cats on and boost pressure goes up, but make less hp. Correct me if I'm wrong, but more power at less psi boost is better/safer.

Exactly. People are obsessed with a boost number. Who cares about such things if the power is there.

how about doing what robispec did or treating it like the ARC sub radiator... where the cooler is located with in the driver side front fender... it seems nothing is really going on that side of the car with the GTM kit...
