If I got any for a discount it free I would send you one, but I am not in the GPU division.
Didn't you say awhile ago that you had multiple Titans laying around? You bought them at full price and don't even use them? :troywax:

I actually ordered the Whipple kit but just a day later threads of horror stories were popping up on the forums so I talked to a few of the guys via PM and it didn't look good. Lots of issues with the parts from the intercooler to the pulleys making contact with the hood liner or throwing belts and needing to be shimmed at home via trial and error, so I killed that order.

I ended up continuing my research and didn't really care for the info I had already received on the Maggie, so I went back to the Procharger kit and hit up some guys with miles on the kits. By far, the Procharger guys seem to have a lot less issues and the kit is fully plug and play and reversible, no need to cut anything stock, they give you anything that you would need to cut in the kit, pre-cut so you can keep your OEM parts if you want to return to stock later.

Ended up ordering the P1-X kit in black with the normal intercooler/BOV. Was told there's an 8 week wait or so....

I didn't post it because I was told I was just throwing it in people's faces that I can afford it.

Even though it is functional, I think the ZL1 1LE looks like a Ricer piece of shit, like teh Viper ACR when it is on the street.

I would rather a 1LE SS that weighs less with a blower and looks more "normal" and less "LOOK AT ME MOTHERFUCKERS!"

Why not get the zl1 though. Dicking with factory shit is a huge hassle especially something as major as a super charger.

I don't throw anything away and I don't bother to sell it unless it is something "special" or of real value because it is usually a waste of time and effort dealing with people that just want to kick tires..

I give the parts away, or even full PCs. In June I gave away three i7 computers with Windows 10 licenses to three families from my wife's school that couldn't afford a PC in any way, shape or form. They were a few years older and nothing cutting edge, all 3.0-3.3 Ghz from a few years ago with 8gb RAM and 2TB HDDs in them. I bought some cheaper 22" monitors at Best Buy for them so they wouldn't have to buy anything. Turns me into a big :gay: to see someone that really appreciates this stuff get so excited that someone gave a shit enough to give them something..

I wanted something other than an LT4. I already have an LT4 in a better platform. The blower is really not needed, but i figured why not, it will be a blast on that car and I can say fuck it and tune it and/or upgrade the head unit later if I want... Warranty be damned.

I actually wanted the 1LE for the suspension, which you couldn't get in the ZL1 at the time, and now you need the wing and front spats which make it look like you're trying too hard unless that is a track car.

There are lots of people living below the poverty line in the Bay area. Without assistance they would be on the street with the homeless. Making $12/he with kids at home is mind blowing.
