The Head Unit
A&A Corvette uses Vortech quality head units in all their systems. Vortech builds their head units to their specifications under a private label agreement. They offer head units of varying sizes to accommodate different horsepower levels. Their Si Trim head unit is best suited for stock engines and is the only one available in their C.A.R.B. Certified kits. (available in engine oil fed or self-contained) The Ti Trim is better suited for those with headers, moderate camshafts, Methanol injection etc. (available in engine oil fed or self-contained) The YSi is the KING of this family of blowers. When combined with a properly built engine, 8 or 10 rib belt drive and one of their dual pump fuel systems, the YSi is capable of over 1000 REAR WHEEL HORSEPOWER in a late model Corvette.

Adjustable Billet Tensioner
Each tensioner is machined from 9.6 pounds of 6061 Aluminum bar. The shaft is precision machined 4340 Chromoly steel. The tensioner rotates on German manufactured bearings that are precision fit much like an engine bearing. The bores are set for a certain amount of “crush” so that the shaft to bearing clearance is within the range specified by the bearing manufacturer. Each one is hand assembled at our facility and checked for proper spring tension with a digital torque meter. Nobody else does that but A&A!

On the practical side, they have 3 internal spring settings. A 1000 HP drag racer obviously needs more spring pressure than a 600 HP daily driver, right? This can be accomplished with just one tensioner! They even have an optional spring for super high horsepower drag racers. There is also a “lock pin” so the tensioner can be rotated to the slack position and locked in place. This is a huge help when installing a belt, changing an alternator etc. 

Mounting Brackets
Each plate is machined on both sides to assure absolute flatness and accuracy. Super strong bracing, Grade 8 hardware, all steel pulleys with dual bearings, stainless or aluminum stantions for proper bearing support and our billet tensioner are all standard. Our brackets are also set up to use 6 or 8 rib drive pulleys without modification, right out of the box.

Their bracket assemblies have often been described as “jewelry”. Considering the overall quality of the machine work and components. It really is a work of art.

RAM Intercooler "Bottom Breather" Design
C5 is a “Bottom Breather”. Incoming airflow is drawn in from under the car, rather than through a large grille opening as in later models. This requires a different approach as to how to get adequate airflow through the intercooler. Their Ram Air Intercooler with CNC laser cut aluminum panels is sealed tightly against the front panel and has its own “scoop” to grab the airflow and force it through the intercooler itself. Again, they are the ONLY manufacturer to do this or, for that matter, anything at all to enhance airflow through the intercooler.

Engine Cooling
Engine cooling is also a major consideration overlooked by other manufacturers. Theirs is the only system that looks at this problem and actually does something about it. They have CNC formed aluminum panels that seal this whole area off so the airflow is trapped in the radiator cavity and forced into the radiator. This approach helps engine cooling tremendously.

Radiator Hold Down Brackets
They manufacture laser cut, CNC bent brackets to securely hold the radiator, fan and AC condenser assembly in place. These brackets, in conjunction with our top shroud and mounting brackets make for a very stable and professional looking installation.

Installation
Rated to 6-9 hours.

Supercharger Kit Finishes
POLISHED (standard)- Includes polished head unit, bracket assembly and charge tube
BLACKOUT (Includes black POWDER-COATED head unit, black powder-coated tubing and black anodized bracket)

Optional Parts/Accessories
OPTIONAL BELT DRIVE SYSTEMS:
8 RIB SYSTEM- This system changes all the pulleys from 6 rib to 8 rib. As with the standard drive system, all the supercharger and accessories will run on the same belt. Includes 8 rib belt, SFI spec balancer (10% overdrive), alternator, power steering, idler and supercharger pulleys $900
8 RIB WITH SECONDARY DRIVE- This is the ultimate belt drive system. The supercharger runs on its own dedicated 8 rib belt while the alternator and power steering run on a separate 6 rib belt. This allows for a much shorter belt running the supercharger which translates into less belt stretch and better grip. This upgrade includes their proprietary SFI approved 8 rib, 10% overdrive balancer (has an extra set of ribs to run the secondary shaft) all belts, spacers and pulleys needed as well as a spring tensioner and custom power steering hose. Their jackshaft pulley (splits the supercharger and accessory belts) is the only one that is driven by its own dedicated belt. It is NOT driven by the air conditioning belt like other systems on the market. Testing has shown the torque needed to cause the secondary shaft belt to slip is more than 2 ½ times that of the traditional “Direct Drive” or “Flip Drive”. $1100 

OPTIONAL PULLEY SIZES AVAILABLE:
6 RIB 4.0”, 3.8”, 3.6” 3.4”
8 RIB 4.00”, 3.80”, 3.60”, 3.33”, 3.25”, 3.125”, 3.00”, 2.85”, 2.70”
