Took the plunge today!!!! Well, its official, i ordered my procharger kit today from bob over at EPP 
Ended up going with a D1 kit, the front mount, and the 8 rib set up.
Bob was very helpful on the phone, and should take about 2 weeks to get here.
I, to say the least, am totally ecstatic, probably wont be able to sleep for a few days.
Anyways, just figured i'd spread the joy.
WOOOHOOO!!!!!
Thanks...

I cant complain too much though, this winter has allowed me to do all the work to the car. I went from a bone stock car to where it is now (see sig) since the middle of November. Which is a pretty big accomplishment, this is the first time i have had a project like this. A guy i work with has been helping me, hes a die hard old school pontiac guy (he restored a 1970 GTO). So these "new computer controlled cars" are something new to him. And we have done everything ourselves, minus the head porting.

Thanks everyone, we appreciate it!
Mike, you're going to have a very fast car!
jmdgto, any word from your shipper yet? Your GTO is washed and vacuumed and is all ready to go. You're going to really enjoy your goat! Bob

I am having it dyno tuned @ Red Line Motorsports, out near Albany, NY most likely. One of my friends dyno there LT1 w/ spray there, and he did a great job. They are located about 2hours east of where i am.
My 2nd choice is probably New Era, out in Rochester, NY. Another friend is having his heads / cam ls1 tuned there at the end of March.
So i'm going to see how much luck he has.
But most likely Red Line.
Thanks...

You can upgrade to the F-1A and make it work with the stock 8 rib bracket assembly, although it would put out too much boost for the stock bottom end to handle. The F-1A is a $500.00 upgrade but you're more than likely going to want the race bypass valve ($360.00) it you're running a lot of boost.
The F-1C is another $500.00 on top of the F-1A, and to make it work is going to require a lot of mods. I don't see the stock bracket system working, and the larger volute diameter may cause some problems. The added length would also require the radiator to be moved forward.

We have seen 757 rwhp out of a D-1SC on a 402, and the D-1SC can also be used on a stock bottom end. This makes it a really flexible blower.
