hey guys,

The total cost of the paxton kit was roughly $5,000. My mechanic has already done one, so he knew what to expect. The kit came from Supercharging Of Knoxville. Beware, its not as easy as they tell you. A few of the brackets have to be either tossed or re-fabricated. Total labor is roughly 30-40 hrs (if you want a great job !) So for under $10,000 you can have a bad ride. I'll be happy to answer any??'s john

Hey John,

Is that "Total labor is roughly 30-40 hrs" with the engine in or out of the car? I was going to do this along with a rebuild and was hoping the labor hours would be less with the engine pulled. Was cost the reason you went with the paxton vs. the whipple? Brad

Brad, This figure is assuming the engine stays in the car. I went with the paxton because I didn't have do any internal $$$$$$ motor work. The kit w/o a modified impellar will give you around 6lbs of boost. Which is all I need to eat those vette's !! So far so good, I'm still on egg shells. Feel free to email w/ ?'s
