Default Advise before I buy a procharger!!!!!

Im planning on buying a used procharger and was wondering what I should look for before I make the purchase. For example bad tubing or damaged head unit. My car is completely stock except minor stuff, so would my camaro be able to handle it on low boost. Ive got an 02 ss. How do ls1's hold up forced induction?

Definitely longtubes and a Y pipe - with the motor taking more air in it needs a good set of headers to expel it all out. Go ahead and change your plugs to TR6s and make sure the car is running in tip-top order.

That's a great page on EPP's website. I think I have it saved under favorites.


I have a D-1SC kit on my '02 Z28 putting out 8# and have had no problems thus far at 11K miles on a stock motor. It has a conservative tune and while I do put the car to the test every now and then, I don't beat on it just to beat on it.
