Default Thinking of going FI

My car has a ls6 crate motor w/bolt-ons in it now and makes just over 400rwhp. Just wondering if I should turbo or sc it. I would like to keep it as simple as possible. It seems like alot of people has good luck with ati. I wish kenne bell made something for the f-bod crowd. How much power could it make on pump gas? This is my dd.

For a reliable 500ish rwhp, the ATI procharger is going to be your best bet in terms of a bolt-on kit.

The best thing is that when you decide to forge the bottom end, you can get a new pulley for the blower and you have more boost.

We are currently running a special that includes EVERYTHING you need to install the ati procharger.

I was hoping for 600ish+ with potential for more. I could do 500ish and stay n/a. How long do the Ati last? Are they rebuildable? How is gas mileage affected? This car really is my dd even though I have a truck. It probally sees 10,000+ miles a year. I checked out you site. Do you have anymore pics?

Check out this T/A in my project car section. http://www.exoticperformanceplus.co...tCar.php?car=42

The ATI ProChargers last for years and they are rebuildable.

This customer took this C5 on a vacation shortly after we did the engine/ProCharger install, and still got 28 mpg, the same mileage that he received before the installation.

Here is my own '99 Z28, that had 110,000 miles on it when we installed an ATI ProCharger.
