Sure Billy nice to see you posting so often.
Novi 1200 is a Vortech V2
Novi 1500 is a T Trim
Novi 2200 is a JT Trim
Again Vortech and Paxton are in the same building the S/C are identically the same except for the ID tag.

Billy one car had a watter to air with 15 k on the clock, I sold that motor it was perfect, two other cars here had no S/C just a lot of miles, I have two 04's that are getting crate motors Larry's car is coming in Monday and it will get a crate motor and Novi 2200, he wants to sell his Novi 1200 and his 3000 PI. I just finished the 06 CVPI.
Dennis Reinhart

I will ask Monday.
I just called they do make a 2500, but it takes a Novi 2000 bracket and this may cause clearance issues so the option would be the Vortech YSI externally lubricated and that is what we will be installing in Larry's car he dropped it off today.
Did you do that front cover paint? Actually looks pretty damn neat the more i look at it.

Hello Dennis; Will my car have the cooling kit installed and let me know about the drag radials. I have to ask as these things pop into my head; Chicago isnt quite around the car from Florida. Have a wonderful season. Allen
That front cover looks awesome.

Very nice. Lots of room in the back for the cooling kit. Looks better than the regular silver with the Ford Blue cam covers. I love the look of the front cover too. Is this going into a Marauder?

Very nice. Looks like a brand new coolant tube too. The kooks headers look like they have a better (longer) EGR pipe than the Stainless Works do - too.
Only thing you could add would be an Accufab Throttle body...
That powder coating looks fantastic..
