Get a Whipple supercharger, full instructions of how to install it are included.

Western Corvette, or Calgary Tune up & Corvette Services could probably do it.
You wont have a problem finding somebody to install it, the problem will be getting it properly tuned.
Any particular reason why you dont want to take it to Davenport?

I just think that davenport was a bit too expensive, 10,000 to 13,000 to get it done. I have no doubt that it will be done properly, so depending on what I find out, if no one else will do as good of a job, ill have to go to them.

I work for western corvette and I we would install it and we have a dyno we sublet to for tuning.
Calgary tune up bought western corvette and are now the same shop.
if it is a complete kit then I am sure that we would do it, but we are very busy right now so may be a wile before you can get it in.
But I am done working there the end of the week so they will also be down 1 guy making an appointment hard to get.
I could do the install personally then you would have to arrange tunning
and for tunning dale adams, techmotion, and Toma I am sure could all handle it, or just get davenport to tune it

the whipple are great kits and easier to install then a cetrifical, but most whipples for corvettes have no form of intercooling
wher the centrifical ones ussualy have a water to air cooler.
but for the ultimate cool, twin turbo it

i have buddy with the sts twin turbo kit on his 04 and he loves it. I would recommend that over a supercharger.
I had a colleague that sent his down to
langenfelter (SP?) in the US.
Scared the piss out of me the firts time I rode in it....
Twin Turbos I believe.....
Check your PM's....
I know someone that can help you with the install....
