Super Charging 01 t/a?

[BP_Z28]

So dad and I were talking and


Plan on adding a super charger to his T/A

He has the money to do all of it and we know couple people to help install it with us..

But what should he go with? and what else is needed for the s/c to work and run properly.

Its a 01 t/a LS1

Unfortunately its not easy to fit a positive displacement supercharger in a 4th gen F-body...

otherwise i'd be done already.

I'd rather go turbo (gasp) than do a centrifugal type SC

I dont konw what the centrifugal kits are like, but the positive displacement kits come with everything you need down to zip ties.. plus awesome instructions..

Procharger is absolutly the way to go with a centrifugal SC (or any IMO) on a f body, I'd recommend a D-1 kit. These kits can be made to come with everything needed but make sure to invest in the 8 rib upgrade so you never have belt slip issues down the road.

If you wanna go with a Maggie LM speed makes a complete kit now that requires you to lower the K member but it does kit with very minimal changes and will makes some serious power as well.

also keep in mind with added power comes things that break, like transmissions, rear ends ect. so be prepared to go all out or not at all. Stock parts may last but with 500rwhp or more its all a ticking time bomb.

I agree 100%.

If you are stuck on going supercharger I would recommend a Procharger over a Vortech. Ultimately if funds allow and you are flexible on your power adder. I would purchase a turbo kit.

Dont forgot you'll need fuel too! I'd recommend at least valvesprings in the motor as well. My vote goes to the D1sc....

if your going S/C only use Pro Charger, there a nice unit, and work very well...
and the price of the pro charger compleate kit you could get a nice TT kit... and with the TT kit you can always go up in HP range when upgrades are done to the engine...

[BP_Z28]

Procharger huh..so how much those usually run? Good runs, dont need a crappy one.

[DETROITMUSCLE]

Contact VRE but the kits run about $6K or so without install or a tune, all said and done your probably looking at around $8K to get the car up and running with all the necessary fuel, install, and tuning. No form of FI is cheap. I'm sure you could get it done cheaper but might as well over estimate.

Buy the driveline first, then see how much you have left for power adders. Otherwise you'll blow all your cash on the power adder and have nothing left to fix the tranny, rear end and driveshaft.

ProChargers are slick. D1SC is smart.

[b.lee]

ya, single front mounted turbo would be the way to go, IMO.
or twins, whatever suites your fancy...

We can get you squared away with Procharger, Vortech and or a custom turbo kit. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
