Never give up on a car with pop up headlights. You possess the last car to discontinue them. You are a steward of history.

You would not believe how many times I've watched this video. I bought a used A&A kit a while back, and I just got around to installing it. Without directions or a parts list, I was reduced to hanging parts wherever seemed appropriate. lol
Your video is the most detail-oriented I've found. Thank you for taking the time to address the countless small things that happen when building a project like this. My 6.3 stroker is now done, and the kit is installed. The only thing to do now is get it tuned. Your video absolutely made the entire process possible. Thanks for the priceless information!!!

I been following your content for a while now. Your videos helped me with preventive maintenance and upgrade to my 2002 C5 Z06. Everything worked out great, and sold it for $6000.00 more than I paid. Just put a down payment on 2007 C6 Z06, picking it up Tuesday. Thank You for your videos and content.

Wow!! Those torque numbers! My father had his new 2002 C5 Z06 Supercharged via a P1SC 6psi Intercooled Procharger System... He later upgraded to a D1SC 10psi unit... But with the 6psi, plus Kooks 1-7/8" LT Headers, Kooks 3" HF Catted X-Pipe, 160 degree T.Stat, & a Custom Dyno Tune... His only other mod at the time was a Hurst Shifter... His Z06 put down 579 RWHP / 495 RWTQ on a Dynojet, and his best 1/4 mile on the factory supercar tires was 11.3 @ 128 and change mph with a 1.86 60 foot. I don't remember his exact numbers after upgrading to the 10psi unit? He also had a re-tune, and a stronger clutch/flywheel. I do know it was just north of 650 RWHP, with about 550 ish RWTQ. I'll have to ask him the next time I see him. All of this was back in 2002 through 2003. Anyway, outstanding numbers! Great video! I'll subscribe after this comment.

Great video. The short 4 core radiator is a solid upgrade and makes the install a lot easier.

Nice video. I installed the A&A supercharger kit on my 2002 C5 Convertible way back in 2008. I bought the car new and still have it. Also changed the valve springs from the single coil to double coils. Stock factory headers and Corsa cat back exhaust. Had it tuned by SLP and I'm making 504 HP at the rear wheels. I also am running the short radiator. Best bang for the buck. Over 500 HP and 28 mpg at 75 mph. I also did the install by myself. Great support from A&A whenever I had questions during the install.

I did a Procharger to my yellow 03 z06. Two years later changed the pullies and cam . Now 636hp to the rear wheels. Not as smooth as stock but reliable.

[johnbrownlee]

Just what Deven said...Makes it way easer, and its a cleaner job...What a great job, both on the install, and the

[DennisMurphey]

I had a 98 and decided to go Magnuson. Oh mY God . Yes instant beast. After 140, 000 miles sold. Now have 2014, it NEEDS that A&A kit too. Saving my dimes. Great result. D

Soooo if I ever get a supercharger for my C6 grand sport, I’ll come over with a case of beer and get it installed! 😂😂

Picked up a used A&A supercharged z06 a couple years ago and never looked back. Coming from a ~420hp Charger R/T it's amazing how much of a difference there is. Yeah 600 is a lot more than 420 and 3200lbs is a lot less than 4400 but the actual feeling is so much better than I was expecting. Getting it ready for a first attempt at HPDE now, got hood louvers to deal with the excess heat, race pads because fast, and getting new seats so I can drive the car without sliding into the passenger seat lol. I picked mine up high mileage for under $20k and would absolutely recommend the kit to anyone for street use. Track use I have yet to test, but on the street this car is nuts.

I watch this video 3 times to convince myself that i can do it myself lol it makes me sick every time i watch it. Its a great video, just alot of work that can go wrong quick

[shredandenjoy]

[MrGrombil]

[daisywilson]

Getting better and better all the time💖

[stevengolden]

Excellent video like always... now if I could only convince Santa to give and install this I'd believe

[darrylsjodin]

I looked but couldn’t tell for sure if you have a rubber gasket on the flat part of the nose cone where the leading edge of the hood comes down when closed and sits flush with the nose of the car. The previous owner of my Z06 installed the gasket to seal the gap at the front of the hood to keep water from running through the gap during rain or car washing and soaking the air filter that sits down below it. (Unless you have a closed type filter) I found mine had been leaking by due to the self stick adhesive coming loose in the middle, showing a dirt trail down stream of it. I removed it and reattached with clear silicone. The gasket will also keep dirt out more readily. I tested it by laying a dry paper towel on the air filter, closing the hood and soaking the hood with a hose. All good!

Love the video! Fun to watch...made doing this seem less intimidating. Appreciate the tip to lock out the steering wheel.
