Thanks for that pic that is a sweet set up. Do you like it? what modifications do you have to make for the install? I have to have my car inspected and it must pass a sniff test will it pass with one of those on it or will it throw everything off?

Kris,
I haven't had a Paxton since 2000. So I really don't remember what's involved in the installation. You might want to search for "Blown87". He currently runs a Paxton on his Camaro.
I'm now running an ATI F1 with twin intercoolers. For pics, click on "SC Z!!!" in my sig above.
You won't have a problem passing a tailpipe sniffer. I have to go through the sniffer every year and have never come close to the maximums.

I have not had one since 2000 either>>>> but the black flex hose goes to the AIR filter which is located under the battery tray on the pass side...
I still have a bit of useless information on these..

Once again you guys rock thanks for all the pics
Here is a ? for you I have installed a chip in the car already. and I really like what it has done for the shift points and the timing. do I have to change it back to the stock chip? the brand was a motovator ( I think) from summit.
Thanks kris

These kits are designed for the v-belt set up(85-87). '88 and up use the serpentine belt, which have kits that are still available.

The kits for the serpt. set up are not from paxton. Check ATI superchargers they offer them. They look like a sweet set up and you can get more boost.
