The full width intercooler is sealed tightly against the front panel and has its own “scoop” to grab the airflow and force it through the intercooler itself. Again, we are the ONLY manufacturer to do this or, for that matter, anything at all to enhance airflow through the intercooler.

NEW RADIATOR HOLD DOWN BRACKETS:  We 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.

C5 SUPERCHARGER SYSTEM​ 

                 SUPERIOR PLUMBING IS ANOTHER HIGHLIGHT OF THE A&A SYSTEM

Look how our plumbing is routed through the engine compartment. To get from the supercharger outlet to the intercooler you must go behind the sway bar, over to the right side of the radiator, and then up and over the front part of the skid bar assembly. Others use 90-degree rubber hoses connected with aluminum tubes. Their rubber hoses need to be contorted to make the odd angles needed. Not ours. Our silicone hoses are manufactured with the correct bends to get from the supercharger to intercooler without twisting or kinking. They are also extremely strong and oil resistant.
                   Look at the picture below. Do you see any 90-degree bends?

We also use stainless “Constant Tension” clamps on our charge tubing. These clamps expand and contract to keep the connections tight at all temperatures as well as provide 360 degree clamping force.


THESE ARE THE PROPER ANGLES NEEDED FROM BLOWER TO INTERCOOLER INLET

C5 SUPERCHARGER SYSTEMS $5250

C5 continues to be a great platforms for supercharging due to the affordability and number of vehicles available.

     Clearly the components and engineering we put into our systems is far ahead of the competition, but you need a powerful, efficient head unit to put it all together.

We use Vortech quality head units in all our systems. Vortech builds our head units to our specifications under a private label agreement. We offer head units of varying sizes to accommodate different horsepower levels. 

Our Si Trim head unit is best suited for stock engines and is the only one available in our 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. and is a NO COST OPTION. (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, our Secondary Drive and our Dual Pump Fuel System, the YSi is capable of over 1000 REAR WHEEL HORSEPOWER in a late model Corvette.

                            THE BELT TENSIONER IS ANOTHER AREA WHERE A&A IS KING

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!


NOW THAT’S A TENSIONER! 9.6 # OF ALUMINUM BILLET BEFORE MACHINING!

                        EACH COMPLETE A&A SUPERCHARGER SYSTEM INCLUDES

  • Proprietary Vortech head unit in Si or Ti Trims (other sizes available)
  • Full width Ram Air Intercooler with replaceable scoop and mounting brackets
  • Large 4 ½” inlet duct with re-usable high flow filter
  • 60# Siemens injectors (larger sizes available)
  • Racetronix or Lingenfelter fuel pump (03-04 uses Kenne Bell Boost a Pump)
  • 38MM or 50 MM Raceport blowoff valve. (52 MM “Big Bubba available)
  • NGK TR6 spark plugs pre-gapped to .035”
  • Crank pinning kit with new OE bolt
  • Our superior bracket system with fully adjustable billet tensioner
  • Aluminum surround panels to enclose the radiator cavity
  • 4 ply silicone hoses formed specifically to navigate the C5 engine compartment
  • Stainless steel “constant tension clamps” for secure connections
  • Mandrel bent polished aluminum MAF tube with bead rolled ends (black powder coat available)
  • Upper radiator brackets to support radiator, fan and condenser assembly.
  • Powder-coated top shroud
  • Hardware kit with vacuum hoses, fittings, screws etc.


COMBINE THIS MUCH BELT WRAP WITH OUR BILLET TENSIONER AND YOU HAVE A WINNER!

     WE OFFER THE LARGEST INTAKE DUCT in a standard system. We designed it to clear the stock and most aftermarket radiators while maximizing airflow. Ours is 4 ½” on the supercharger end with appropriately sized silicone couplers for the different head units available. The oversized end allows us to have a much larger cross sectional area at the pinch point where it crosses over the radiator. This area is about 35% larger than other designs.

      HUGE INLET DUCT WITH OUR HIGH FLOW, WASHABLE HIGH FLOW AIR FILTER

OUR APPROACH TO BUILDING IN THE BEST SUPERCHARGER KIT ON THE PLANET

      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.

Just putting an intercooler in front of the radiator does little more than block the radiator. The factory shroud (that large plastic piece that slopes down from the top of the radiator to the front bumper) is gone, so what is there to force the air through the intercooler and radiator? Furthermore, with that shroud gone, what is there to stop the airflow from just going off into the fender wells on either side of the radiator as well as up into the bumper itself? The straight answer is NOTHING!

Ours is the ONLY system that looks at this problem and actually does something about it. We 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 SURROUND PANELS KEEP AIRFLOW WHERE IT BELONGS

As with C6 and C7 we offer 50 State Legal (CARB EO# D-707) systems all the way up to 1000 RWHP race only kits. We also carry a full line of injectors, fuel systems, pulleys, belts, radiators and individual components you need to accomplish your goals.

LARGE GAP BETWEEN THE RADIATOR AND INTERCOOLER- MUCH BETTER ENGINE COOLING!


MAXIMUM BELT WRAP ON THE CRANKSHAFT AS WELL


NEW RADIATOR TOP SHROUD MOUNTING BRACKETS

AA's C5 supercharger systems have benefited from all the innovations implemented in our C6 and C7 research and development. Each time we found a way to improve the C6 and C7 systems, we went back to C5 and did the same.

     That’s the quality side of the tensioner assembly. On the practical side, we 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! We 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. Fighting the spring tensioner is a thing of the past.

No other manufacturer has a tensioner that is even close to ours in both quality and practicality.

            OUR MOUNTING BRACKET ASSEMBLY IS ALSO STATE OF THE ART


 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. 

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