Trying to find a non-roots or non-manifold located supercharger kit like a procharger for my C3, no luck so I wanted to ask if anyone knows of such a kit.

A few years back I was toying with this idea also. There was a guy on the forum back then (I don't remember the name or know if he is still around). He had installed a procharger or some similar centifugal supercharger under the hood of a blue C3, but he was using no intercooler and had to cut out an area of the under side of the hood (bracing). If was interesting, but I was sure the hood would break eventually, and without an intercooler, I was sceptical about how much benefit it would really be, especially with the cost. Iry searching the forum, I'm sure it's there somewhere.

God bless, Sensei

Unless you've got Hooker style sidepipes, to keep everything under the hood turbos might be a better solution. Like the superchargers, I don't believe a bolt on kit exists.

Just run a Weiand and an L88 hood

Gale Banks installed His Twin Turbo in the C3's back in the day and he even had a Corvette specific kit. I'm useing a Turbo Hood and never tried it with the Stock Hood and I think there would be some clearance issues.

Prochargers catalog shows a c-3 with a interposed supercharger. The guys testimonial was like 800 horse under a stock hood.

Whats wrong with superchargers lifting stuff out of the hood?

It would be interesting to see how the 800 hp procharger guy got a carb hat to fit under a stock hood, good carb hats are tall. I am running a big block with a torker intake and a 750 holley carb and I had to raise my hood 2 inches for the carb hat to clear. Would love to hide it under a stock hood though.

There is a guy in the local Vette-club here in sweden who is running an underhood system.

I belive its not an "direct fit" kit.

But its possible to get it under a stock smallblock hood.

Its the grey No:9 car.

This is what it looks under the hood.

This one is said to be 800+ hp.

No carb on this one.

I put one on a Dodge magnum hemi a few years back,easy installation and worked very well.

I had a procharger P600B on my '72 350 vette back around 1999-2001. I used the stock SBC brackets, but had to do some custom stuff to make it work. Yes, I had to "notch" the bracing on my aftermarket LT-1 hood. I used the included procharger bonnet and a Torker 2 manifold with a custom 650DP holley.
I was running 500hp+ on a mild 350. I was competing with the vipers when they came to town, but kept losing blower belts!
It was a cool setup. The procharger sounded like a pissed off cat cruising around town. I had to run a sep elect vac pump for my windshield and headlights as I couldn't control them under boost (it looked like my chihuahua waking up in the afternoon--1st one eye open, then the other An MSD boost timing master will hopefully keep pistons in 1 piece. Also need boost ref fuel pres regulator and some other little things.
vac pump for sale if interested. Everything else parted out.

Now I'm looking at going with a turbo LS/T56 for even more power.
