I'm looking to have a D1Sc FMIC kit installed over the winter and was looking to see where you guys recomend I get it done. If you guys have any suggestions I'm all ears. Remember this is for a C5 Corvette. Thanks in advance!

Talk to Mike at Straightline Performance, they've done a few different C5 forced induction installs. Great customer service and they know their stuff. 815-485-7741
D.I.D. I think they have a C5 in there right now with a procharger. www.didrace.com

There's a lot to getting a S/C to work properly. It's more than just throwing on the kit and thinking everything will be fine. Give us a call, I'd like to know exactly what you were expecting from the kit.

Go to D.I.D. There's really no one else in the area that knows what their doing.
Kurgan is planning on tuning GM vehicles(with GM computers) within the next few months from what he said. So when he does, I'd recommend him..ESPECIALLY with a forced induction setup.

I think straightline has extensive experience working on GM vehicles mechanically and programing wise, especially C5's. Why bother with someone that is just gonna start, better to go with someone with the experience! IMHO.
Give'm a call and you'll see the awesome customer service for your self. It's even better if you stop by.
Like they said call mike!

We've got a handful of them running around now. I did a 2002 Z06 that came in with a cracked piston that we ended up putting a 402" LS2 with stock LS6 heads and a 224/228 cam with 10 PSI on a D1SC that made 640 RWHP. It will get a roll bar and a diff upgrade this winter, after we get down to the 10.0X range with it, we'll swap to a different head and put more boost in it. Right now, it only cuts a 1.9 60ft leaving off idle and goes 10.70 @ 136 MPH...

Straightline did my Camaro and did a great job. Speed Inc did my D1 procharger that I used to have on my Silverado and also did a great job. You cant go wrong with either.

Many shops are qualified, but we have a over a half-dozen of D1 Procharger installs on C5/C6s that we have done this season. That is not the limit of our ATI experience as we have performed many more installs on F-Bodies and other LSx based vehicles. As far as tuning goes we specialize in the HP Tuners 2 bar / 3 bar modified OS Tunes. We have been doing them for quite some time now and even helped beta test the software. Our forced induction knowledge expands from the basic Procharger kits to the one off custom turbocharger systems that push over 1,000 HP to the rear wheels on street cars as well as propel them into the 9 second range and a few into the high to mid 8 second range.
Whether its 6psi or 26 psi - we know forced induction and we know LSx based vehicles. Join the Boost Nation ;)
