Squirrel,
I haven`t installed a catch can yet but I have my eye on one that mounts where the stock air intake used to mount, upper rear perch. Tensioner has moved just a tiny bit so far, but yeah, I am keeping an eye on it.

That blower looks nice!

I bought the RevXtreme but the shop that installed the dedicated nitrous fuel tank mounted it on the tank support and it would not allow the engine cover to fully seat. I moved it to the other side of the engine bay by the CAI. There is a hole already there and all you have to do is pull on the plastic wheel liner to use a socket. I did not even have to modify the included bracket or anything.

Here is a pic of how it was installed by the shop. You can see that the engine cover does not fit right.

Here is after I moved it to the other side.

My friend and I installed the Edelbrock E-Force on my SS. We didn't use the flywheel tool. I put the trans in 4th gear and stood on the brakes and the flywheel didn't move at all. Here is a picture of where I mounted the catch can. I attached it to the one stud that had the OEM filter box mounted to.

That works perfect on a manual car. That trick will not work on an automatic trans car fyi. You either use the locking tool, or find some way to jam the flywheel, ie... puting a long screwdriver beteen the flexplate and converter or similar.

Thanks for the pics.

Looks really really nice.
I like the jack shaft cover. No chances of grabbin your tie when you pop the hood open to show your friends at work..

Awesome, it's crazy how close are numbers were to each other, what a kit. Have fun at the track, when I took mine out for the first time after the install it scared the shit out of me, I still had some reservations about my installer...

I think it has a lot to do with the stock cam backing things up, its not blower friendly at all. It is nice making over 500rwhp w/ stock internals..

Well, hopefully I won`t be too scared, I`ve had some fast cars in the past, but we shall see...Lol.. Lol.. @ your installer...

I wish this kit would come with the next Z28. There are a lot of goodies come with that car, the only thing missing, is this blower.
