Default I AM GETTING SUPERCHARGED!!!

Hi, Everyone!
I am so excited because next Tuesday I will be getting a Vortech Supercharger installed in my Vette. Big thanks to Luke/Chargedvette02 and Dave01 for their advice and suggestions. I will be sure to post pictures when the install is done.

I am so happy!

Take care. Stay safe.
Rita

Oh, no, I know there is always bigger and badder, but this will be so much fun for me.
I might even start racing the 1/8 mile strip, not too far from where I live.

My husband said he is going toget a hugh life insurance policy on me. [sm=devilangel.gif] Ha, ha!

But no worries here, I am way too smart (and old) to do something stupid.

And George, you are right!
I am going to love the bad-*** sound! [sm=shades.gif]

I will be sure to post pictures.

Take care. Stay safe.

Hey Rita, just wanted to ask if you have asked if they are going to use an 8 rib serpentinebelt instead of the normal serpentine belt. I have the normal c5 serpentine belt and I think that is the cause of some of my belt throwing issues. The 8 rib belt seems to have fixed the belt throwing issues for some people I have talked to at the track. If you havent asked them what belt they are going to use I would just ask for the heck of it.

Hey, Luke!
Thanks so much for this tip. I did make the special request for the 8 rib. Their web site mentions that the 8 rib is available, but I think it has to be requested - so once again, you have helped me - BIG TIME! (p.s. Tell your Girly, she is lucky I am old enough to be your mother. ha, ha)

Here is the link tothe shop, A & A Corvette and a description of whatI am getting.Andy (owner)is so knowledgeable and is called the "Guru of Vettes" here on the west coast. I highly recommend them.

Very nice kit im jealous. If my belt breaks again im going to try and see if I can change out all my pulleys for the 8 rib ones looks and sounds way more dependable. You're going to have sooooo much fun!

Sounds like a prospect for the "Star Fleet Armada" to me.
