H/C/I guy wants to go Forced induction. What parts would I be able to re-use.
alright guys. I have H/C/I camaro and Im looking into going pro charger. I would like for someone to let me know where I'm lacking. I have a general idea on what Id need to do but just looking for some advice.
Here is what I currently have done to my car.
-243 heads ported 226CC from AI.
-92 MM fast port matched for heads.
-Thunder racing's T-rex V.2
-Thunder Racing Pushrods (7.400)
-dual Patriot Gold Valvesprings and Ti Retainers
-Ls7 lifters
-ported ls6 oil pump
-ls2 timing chain.
-42 lbs injectors
-moser 9 with 4.30 gears. ( i know ill have to change em)
-ram hd clutch
- hawks stage two trans rebuild kit.
-walbro fuel pump in the back.
I know ill be able to reuse the heads and intake. but not the cam however Ive seen a video of a GTO with a trex cam and pro charger. Ehhh
I know the injectors I might need to replace. and gears in the rear. is there anything I'm missing
Thanksk for the advice.

Cam, injectors, gears, fuel pump. Clutch might have to go also. You could get away with the can just fine. But then it becomes a point of how much are you leaving on the table, and you are settling with a poor idle when you can make phenomenal power on a good street cam.

Is my fuel pump not enough, should I run two of them?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^He said procharger in the OP.
OP, id get you some 80lb injectors(in case you'd like E85 for a mild FI build), and ditch the cam, for something more apprporiate... However, if it was ME, id just get some bigger injectors and let her eat... I aint skurred....

My opinion you'll get the biggest get improvement per dollar spent(or even not spent) by selling your intake, can, injectors, trans, might as well sell now instead of blowing it afew months then wanna switch to auto then most likely.I 'd sell intake too depending on deal, especially if they had good stock 243s. With that money you could probably fund your whole swap if you got used parts and where turning all the wrenchs
