Id say cam swap, 317's, and a good fuel system (as mentioned above probably 60lbers but you could get away with 42s with a racetronix pump). I say cam swap because with that sized cam and boost your going to have a lot of stress on your valvesprings. You will make more power with the cam you have and the same amount of boost if you were to run it with a smaller cam but on a stock shortblock id just be careful. Tons of good blower cams out there, id just have one of the sponsors spec one out for you or buy an off the shell blower cam. I believe EPP has a good one that is in the 22x/22x range, which would give you good idle quality and power. Id say maybe look into a meth/alky injection kit as well as a safe guard. Let us know though what you choose and keep us updated on the build.

Im pretty sure it comes with a 6-rib setup with the pulley that bolts to the stock crank pulley, would that not work??

The six rib kit will work at modest boost levels such as 8 psi. 8 psi is all I'd run on a stock bottom end, and we generally see an increase of 140 rwhp at this boost level.
Since you don't have fuel injectors yet, I'd go ahead and get 60lb injectors as has already been suggested.
If you need any piece parts, I have most of them listed here. A pdf of the ProCharger manual can also be found here. Bob

ummm 317 heads are NOT LS6 heads... LS6 heads are 243's. But yes, you should swap out your stock heads for some 317 heads cuz they will lower your compression a bit. And I'd change the cam too. I like the speed inc SC1 or SC2 for a stock short block or mild 347. But EPP has good blower cams too. They know their stuff when it comes to procharger! Don't hesitate to give Bob there a call and he can always steer you in the right direction. Oh and, 8psi should be the max you run on a stock short block. Make sure you get a good tune. And go with 60 #ers since you havent bought anything yet. It would be a good idea to start looking into an 8 rib kit too for the future...

Neither, you're probably going to need a 3.55 to a 3.75 pulley for the six rib kit. Bob

The 4.0 pulley gave me 7 psi of boost on my 110,000 mile Z28 back in '02 with just headers and exhaust with no cats. Add a camshaft in there and it will make even less boost. The 3.2 pulley would more than likely give you belt slippage problems, and probably 12 psi of boost when it isn't slipping. Bob

Question

Right now i have #853 heads with patriot performance dual vavle springs, when switching to 317 heads would i need to get different length pushrods or would i just need to swap them?
Is it worth swaping the 317 heads with my 853 heads,should it make 8 pounds of boost safer to run with the 317s or just keep the 853s and build a good motor later?
Thanks

853's suck, but you're going to see more boost with them since they are more restrictive, but you'll make the same power. I'd give Bob a call over at EPP, he helped the shop out that was having a couple of issues with my car during tuning, good guys over there.

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Personally, I'd keep the heads you have on the engine for the time being. If you do end up changing to the 317 heads the same length of pushrods (7.40) should be what you need. Bob
