The 2016 Camaro owner in the next lane made a point to let me know that his car is usually faster...LOL!

Got the headers on, k member in, Boss oil cooler in, A/C line on and put the waste gates together with 11 lb springs to start. Doesn't sound like much, but putting a k member in by yourself is quite challenging.

Any dyno or track numbers yet, I bet the car is a blast to drive. I wanted to go turbos so bad but it just wasnt in the budget.

Killer build. Just curious though, why did you choose to break the motor in with a supercharger if you were going turbo?

Is there any benefit to doing that? I know the PD style supercharger will put the most stress on the engine. Is that also why you did it?

Because my tune was dialed in with the blower and I didn't want any surprises during break-in. With the exception of Boss exh cams and stronger valve springs, it was the exact same setup.
