Yes, currently offered with the ACS Monster hood, with window or heat extractor. Retail pricing is $7195, although you can purchase through many of our dealers. Hood is treated seperate at this point. Finishing up this price this week.

This is based off the camaro system, it won the 2010 GM best new high performance product at SEMA this year. Unit has been making big waves in the Camaro market. The SC is very oversized, has tremendous capacity for stock and modified motors, is modular in many ways. Unique casted inlet which is 112mm meaning you can install up to a 112TB which were offering. The biggest IC in the market, which is why it doesn't fit under the hood, didn't want to sacrifice intercooler efficiency for height. You make 10 runs and the temps stay in a safe range.

Here's a 6.2L engine with a custom cam, ported heads, dyno headers.

837hp, 10psi of boost, 91 octane.

Certainly can. The manifold/cooler has been used at nearly 1400hp.

3.3 liter is same mounting right?

Every time I think I've decided what I'm going to do something else comes along.

3.3L is very different mounting, thats for our sand rail systems which has a rear entry. This is a front entry, casted intake with casted flange, all in one. No adapters, spacers, etc. to make it work. This means it has a bigger intercooler.

Dustin, what about all these heat soak issues, people on this forum talk about that do not even have one, related PD blowers? How does this unit\manifold fair up?

We haven't run into any issues. The upside down SC's are the problem, because the SC is sitting in the valley and all the heat is soaked up in the SC housing and manifold. Then all the heat rises to the runners. Also, being under the stock hood, within mm's away from the top also holds in some heat. With the ACS hood and heat extractors, you really can lower the temps in there.

the coolant used in the intercooler is pumped via a standered setup like the ford guys use coorect? I ask this, because I called about this a few months ago, and was told it was WAY WAY off, so i forgot about it. I Had great luck in using large capacity water cells in the past on ford based setups.

Yes, its seperate from the stock loop. We use the Bosch IC pump, a front mounted heat exchanger and a overflow tank.
