    How difficult is it to install an aftermarket blower on a C8?

    Guys,
    Thinking of getting a used (2022ish?) C8 for myself next year but looking for a little more zip than the factory specs and don’t want to pop for a Z06. How hard is it to install a blower on a C8? Anyone else do that or have similar experience?

    Michael, ask Mr. Lingenfelter if they have tried it.

        Owned one of the 1st C8's. Man, that's got to be a real bear to pull off, given the lack of space under the lid.

          Emilia Hartford added twin turbos to her 2020 - in this video (about 11 mins) the shop dropped the entire drivetrain out to work on the turbos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JRHoDcZeQ0

            Have you driven the "base" C8? Quite a bit of "zip" already: 0-60mph in less than 3 seconds.

              Keep in mind adding the equipment will impact the factory powertrain warranty if that's important to you.
