That is my guess, I would have to call and see. I figured with tough times these days another person hard up for money might sell one for cheap, wish in one hand **** in the other.

The only good news I can figure out of all this is that Holley just came out with a specific LSA front accessory drive.

To me that means that Holley knows something. I think that something is that GM plans on making the LSA blower for a continued period of time. It would make zero sense for Holley to come out with a setup for the LSA if it wasn't going to be around for a while.

Now, whether or not the LSA is going to stay at a 8K MSRP, who knows, but still, an interesting development.

Summit shows both the ZL1 and the LS9 blower as "not available" and has for some time, so who knows. I do wish there was some sort of way that OEMs would be a little more transparent about what their plans are for the performance stuff. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right places, but its all very clandestine and uber secretive for some strange reason.

^^^^That's a good point

Let's hope they eventually get back to making those parts available.

I haven’t yet, I will drive it most of the summer or until I collect all the parts. Which may or may not be awhile.

Fair enough, screw working in the summer. My shop has AC but poorly insulated so it is stupid hot. Basically put all projects on the back burner until October or so.

I was able to get a lid from boost district, but it cost me an additional 400 bucks because he had to order it from a dealer that had stock.

I guess if you need asap you can do that, but its hard to take that pill for another 400 dollars. They are price gouging these, people would sell them super quick if they gave an affordable price

I agree 400 was high as ****, but I was in a hard spot. Truck was apart and is my daily. 400 bucks was cheap to lost wages so I paid it. And in the grand scheme for me it was cheaper, but it sucked.
