Haha, yes, I will have a new build thread : )
I worked very hard on making the supercharger reliable, but it's very hard to trust a system that makes peak boost at redline, meaning it puts even more strain even as we go further away from volumetric efficiency range. I think it's perfect for the street, but for track, I want something I can bang the redline with good conscious. The engine builder said he should get it dynoed today or tomorrow; looking forward to it!
Regarding the diff and cooler, there are quite a few parts, some lines are too long to ship, etc., so I intend to just leave it on the car. If someone was local, I would consider doing a swap, spending a long night at the garage, but there's probably no such person interested.
I already started the planning for C7 Z51
Which C7 model to choose:

Cheap C7 Z06 BBK from Amazon (Dropspeed's thread's C7 version. I referenced his thread, too):

The current list of changes in mind:
- No cheap wheels available, so will have to go aftermarket forged. They will be light! CCW TS12 18x10 / 19x11 wheels with 275/35/18, 305/30/19 Nitto NT01s
- C7 Z06 brakes, grille, aux cooler, side top scoops, radiator fan
- APR Track attack aero kit
- Vetteworks harness bar
- Competition seat conversion (not sure; cost is a bit steep at $1700)
