Procharger...What else is needed? I got a P1SC Procharger off a guy today, I was wondering what needs to be changed to get the most of the charger. I know injectors and most likely a fuel pump, but i didnt know what else and what brands are the best...if anyone could lead me in the right direction with my list of upgrades Id appreciate it. What mods I already have are in my sig

put some ngk tr6 plugs in too.
check out sdce 8 rib kit it seems to be the best but some down time on the bracket.
how much boost you running if its not higher than 7-8psi your setup will do for now.
you got your setup used mabe its already a 8 rib ?

Definetly go with the SDCE 8 rib. You don't have it installed yet so you won't have any down time. No bearing rattle and my boost went up 2 lbs. Also check the front of your harmonic balancer to be flat. I didn't find out there was a problem with the '98 and '99's until mine was put back together.

I appreciate this infor fellas its exactly what i was looking for...here are a few more questions:
Which brand of injectors should i go with...
Is a ATI Fluid Damper worth getting for this setup?
And where is the best place to get the Racetronix Fuel Pump or any of these mods by that matter?
"Please specify if you have the stock balancer or an ATI balancer. We need your brackets and idler to modify to accept this set up."
This was some of the information on the SDCE page talking about the 8 Rib setup... So does that mean they need me to send in my bracket and idler to them and they will do the modifications and then send mine and the rest of the setup back to me...Im just making sure I am gettin the correct details...sorry for all the questions I want to do this right the 1st time around

You need to send your bracket into SDCE. I went with Lucas 42lb injectors, found them shipped for less than $300 from New Era Perfomance parts. Go ahead and get the pin kit for the crank pulley, it's another $100, but worth the insurance. I don't know about the Damper and your best bet is to do some searches for parts to get the best prices. Hope this helps, I can tell you I am very happy with my procharger setup. Don't forget about the tune!!!!

Last I heard the SDCE set up works with either the ATI dampner and the stock dampner....on the other hand ATI Prochargers 8 rib set up REQUIRES that you buy the ATI dampner.
The SDCE set up is the best for boost production and belt reliability from my personal experience when my car used to be procharged.
Best bet would be to call Wendy or Scott and SDCE and tell em what you want and they'll set up you up.

Ive got the complete setup as far as the procharger goes, all connecting pipes, intercoolers (2), charger, ect.
So I need to start by making a few phone calls and do some searching for these parts and best prices...
And as for the bracket I need to send in is it the tensor bracket that they need.
Also where in Texas are some of the BEST supercharger intallation performance shops, and what usually is the price range as far as installation goes for the charger and the new upgraded parts?

Where at in Texas? Don't waste your time with an LS1 Edit, you need a dyno tune. That's one of the draw backs of FI. If you have all the parts it should be about a 1 day install + or -. Plus a tune.

I'm looking for one somewhere around Dallas or Austin. . .
Here's another question: I'm currently running a 2.5" y-pipe, will this be plenty of flow or will I need to go to a 3" y? I thought a 2.5" could run up to a 500 HP, I'm not sure if I'm going to hit 500 HP and I need to keep as much ground clearance as possible, but if its recommended to run a 3" then that's what I'll do. What do you think I should do???

Try this shop in Killeen (1 hour north of Austin), www.sunshinetops.com. This shop did all the work on my car which netted over 500rwhp. They do dyno, tuning, etc. Very knowledgeable staff. Ask for Mike.

What kind of gauges does everyone usually run with these, just a autometer boost gauge or are there more gauges to get other than just that one.
