You should be able to figure it out fairly easily.
I think I'll make a small instruction tutorial for the website on how to do it.

We don't have one that is long enough. We're making one with the late "card style" MAF so that we don't have to make the housing and use extra couplers.
Regular C5 and early C6 will still use the standard 3 1/2" tube.
I can tell you, without reservation, that a 4" tube will make absolutely NO difference. All the tubing from the blower to the intercooler is 3". Even stepping up to 3 1/2" is only done to make the transition to the MAF and throttle body size easier. The air is compressed (denser) as well as being forced through the tube under pressure. The 3 1/2" tube would not start to become a restriction until you reached some airflow number that is astronomically high.

If I'm going to run a 3.5" pulley on my si trim, is it prudent to switch to a 2 bar map sensor? The tuner that I'm chatting with says he can do it (rescale the map to use it), but that it isn't necessary (almost implying that he doesn't want to do it.) I was under the impression that the stock sensor wouldn't provide the resolution for the added pressure.

Update on my issues...
I tried flipping the throttle body and moving the PS reservoir, but the add'l thickness of the nitrous plate makes the move impossible. The DBW wires also will not reach and would need to be cut and lengthened.
Not to mention... the throttle body inlet is offset upwards. Flipping it reverses this offset and moves the inlet down and inline with the top of the radiator. The distance I would need to move the reservoir would put it in the same space needed for the upper radiator hose and almost against the radiator.
What is the difference with the Fast intakes ? In what way does it orient the throttle body differently from stock that makes it

My guys do them in less than an hour, including belt change.

I'm putting a z06 kit on my ls2 car. Its a ysi with 3" and 8" pulleys. What's the correct way to vent the crankcase? I have the edlebrock valve covers with the little nipples on top.

Most aftermarket valve covers don't have much baffling in them and will push oil out the little nipples. Maybe you can use a stock filler neck on your covers and vent it from the cap?

Ordered the I/C piping, drop cradle kit, and aluminum side panels on a Monday and had it here (all the way across the country) by Friday. Thank you! Top Notch business.
So during install, it looks like the OEM shroud side panels are staying out. What do you do with the sensor that used to stick out in front of the A/C condensor? Believe it is the Air Intake Temp Sensor.

You can Zip Tie that anywhere up front that gets ouside air.

I decided to run the 3.4" pulley on my SI trim instead of the 3.8" pulley... are there any issues or tuning surprises I need to be aware of ? I'm headed to the dyno on Friday morning. Julio at Cartek is 'gonna work his magic.
I'm running Fast 57lb injectors and a KB Boost a pump. I also have the ECS meth kit, but would prefer to tune without it if possible.
Thanks in advance for your reply. You guys make a great kit !

Read your other thread with the results...great #'s!

Finally got my kit installed and tuned. Very very happy with the end results.
Other than the supercharger the car is bone stock. Thank A&A for a great kit. I just wish my head unit was louder lol.

That's not possible lol. The whine is the best noise ever. I had a v-2 on my camaro and that thing was the loudest vortech head unit I ever heard lol.

never get tired of hearing the whine from mine. It's not for everyone though.
#37
You were correct. I drilled a 1/4" hole in the intercooler ram air side panel and used the oem push pin to hold it in the hole. Tried to keep it away from the I/C inlet tube.

That is right where i want to be with RWHP, 550--580 would be perfect for me. Tial upgrade, what do i need to by to get the blower to whine? I do not like silent superchargers.
