Default Going over to the dark side....

Well to forced induction that is . I haven't been on here much lately just lurking every now and then. I have been gathering parts for a little while to swap over to a procharger setup instead of my nitrous setup.

Here is the old nitrous setup.



Here are some of the goodies I picked up over the past year or so.



About a month ago I finally got motivated to start working on my car again. I started off by installing a new radiator.



Then I mocked up the a&a bracket and mounted the blower so I could clock the housing.



Next thing I worked on was clearancing the cowl for the new intake.



Today I started working on all the piping. I ordered my piping and cut them to size and routed them the way that worked for my setup. I had all the welding done at a local fab shop for $60.

Here is where Im at so far.







Plenty of room.





Now I waiting on fittings and hose to upgrade the fuel system. Hope to be done soon.

What are you doing about the drive offset? Corvette Accessories, or spacing out the A&A bracket?

I have a corvette balancer and i am purchasing a bracket to move the alternator on the corvette belt line. Only other accessory I run is the water pump.

Good deal. Who makes the bracket? OE or ? Was looking at the Flip drive or a DP bracket for my GTO which has the same F-Body offset. Had thought about cutting down a BMR bracket to make it work.

Nice. If it wasn't so expensive I would be doing a procharger setup ASAP. They do make a kit just for the carb guys like myself, so it will be awesome when I do gather the funds. My MSD ignition does pull timing under boost if I want.

How Procharger should have done it for all the other platforms; F-body, GTO, CTS-V etc... Never understood why they put it where they did. Much beter positioning IMO.
