FYI and a word of caution - A good friend of mine installed a K-B blower on his Cobra convertible. Now, my friend has been working on cars all his life, rebuilt a 69 Cougar, and was the lead design engineer for V-22 support equipment so he is very mechanically inclined. It took him over two months to get the K-B blower installed and had every problem imaginable - parts' quality, fit and finish, electronics, instructions, you name it. Customer service eventually got it all worked out and they got to know each other on a first name basis. Once they finally got it sorted out his biggest problem is traction limitation! So, having said all that, I personally would not want to be the first to try out a new C6 kit when introduced... or live real close to K-B and let them sort things out.
Hate to be a downer but I was stunned listening to his horror stories.
