As The title said, I just picked up a 99 SS with a D1SC. What do I need to look out for/need to know about a FI car. I did a little bit of reselpearch before buying, but thought I would ask the pro's for tips and tricks. Thanks for all your h

I would just change all the fluids including the procharger oil. I might even think about having it tuned to make sure its all good and then just enjoy it man!

I bought a FI car too last year. First thing I did was buy a wideband. Change the cars oil, procharger oil and plugs. My gap in the plugs was way off, varied from .35 to 40. Then I noticed my car was getting hot. Hooked up a scan master and noticed the temps were 220 to 240. The stock gauge read 210. Found out my fan was not plugged in. Wouldn't hurt taking a good look at the drive belt and procharger belt.

Just like everyone else said, go over the setup to make sure you 1, don't have belt slip, 2, don't have a boost leak, 3, you have enough fuel to supply how ever much boost your running, and finally make sure the tune is good.

I read the prochargers instructions, but I looked at the charger today under the hood and cant seem to locate the dipstick on the blower itself? Am I looking in the right place? On top of the blower next to the placard?

its an internal screw with a slot for a flathead screwdriver, its tough to see it thru the power steering hoses but its there. dont overfill the blower when you change the oil! youll blow a seal

Get a new bottle of procharger oil and change it. It takes 1 bottle that procharger measures out...(easy) Here is a pick of the dip stick. Take out the screw and there is a steel cable attached to the bottom.

So I finally got the car in the air to change both oils. Well I changed the engine oil and when i looked to change the blower oil, I found the drain plug, but there seems to be a bold sticking out, blocking the hex nut to get a wrench on there. Anyone got any incite on how to do this? Sorry for all the questions!!! Thanks!

This is what it looks like. http://www.performancetrucks.net/for...w-plug-411218/ Can I take that allen screw out and then the drain plug? Need some help guys

Those allen key bolts are for "clocking" the head unit. You can remove one of them to drain it with no problems, there are 7 of them on my blower. I took some pics of it I'll post up when I get home from work.

Can you get some pics with a flash of your head unit ? It might be clocked differant, because my drain plug is clear of those plates with the allen head bolts.
