Any F-2 Procharger kits for the LS1? Since Procharger doesnt make a LSx kit for a F-2 I figured I'd better check the aftermarket to see if anyone is doing a kit. I havent been able to find anything so far. We have a reverse head unit and are looking to make a set of brackets to use it if not. Dont wanna waste our time designing and machining if something exists already. Figured what better place to check than on here.
Thanks.

Hey Jake, im running an F2 on my 98 C5, blower fits under the stock hood. I used the procharger bracket and had to mod it to handle the F2. I ran into a lot of problems because i tried using a cog drive set up to run the blower and the accessories, the prob is that F2 is one mean bitch. It takes about 300 hp to spin it at max rpm, it broke my water pump, alt bracket and stock blower bracket. Took a lot of fab to make it work. I did find out you can run the F2 on a 30mm cog if you use the ATI super pulley, i've had great belt life with this set up. Let me know if your going to do it, i can send some pics of what i've done.

Thanks for the info so far guys. This will be a "race oriented" deal. I heard Hardcore had a similar setup but I'd say given the latest circumstances that phone call is out of the question.

I'll see if i can dig up the pics of MoreJuice's car to share. It was pretty much all custom work.
The key to making this thing streetable and last is the ATI (balancer company) Super Pulley

Here are the only pics that I have right now of the F-2 on a 98 C5
Hood shuts no problem. We actually ran the alternator off of the AC crank pulley on a custom made bracket to hold the alternator. The stock brackets didn't last long. The monster F-2 pretty much ate the water pump pulley, alternator bracket, power steering bracket, and idler pulley bracket all for lunch. Right now the car does not have power steering, just ran out of time to get it working for the contest. Didn't really need it just to back it up on the dyno anyways. Over the winter all accesories will be put back on and functional.

We've got the 1" aluminum plate ordered that I am gonna machine out the blower to engine mounting plate/motor plate out of. My deal is gonna be a pretty nasty race oriented setup with remote water pump and lack of accesories other than an altenator. I cant wait to really get some momentum on the project over the next few weeks.

Can you send pics to abcocustom@bellnet.ca please? I have a F1C on the car right now but next season I want to go to a F1R and would love to cog it!
