procharged c5
procharged c5 i usually don't post on this forum, but here goes....
i have a customer of mine who wants a little more power of of his 2000 c5. he previously had mid leangth headers and a corsa exhaust installed. it looks like we are going with the ATI procharger kit (most likely the P1sc model).
My question is, with a good set of slicks (26x10.5x16 et streets) and clutch (Cartek), what kind of quarter mile times should we expect? Ive installed a d1sc on a frineds f body and I see mid 11's all day long (usially I'm the one driving)....will we have similar results with the vette?
finally, for a stock engine, is the d1sc worth it? i guess the real question is whether or not the stock engine can even take the extra boost from the d1sc.
it looks like i will have ed wright program the pcm.
thanks guys....as you can tell, i'm new to forced induction f bodys

Re: procharged c5 I have the P1 and single intercooler. Get the single intercooler setup. Less plumbing and a heckuva' lot more HP. I would also poopie-can the stock BOV (junk) and go with the Vortech race model (about $180). Don't waste your time with SuperChips. Get on a wide-band dyno and get it right with Ls1 Edit. The biggest issue with the ATI's on a non-stock motor is the tuning. Absolutely upgrade the fuel pump (if it isn't already) and watch those A/F ratios!
Good Luck

Re: procharged c5 thanks for the reply...
i do have ls1 edit...thats how i tuned my car. ill prb do the same for him.....
we will use a warlboro pump from ls1 speed and 42 lb lucas injectos (they are actually the same ones i use in my gmc syclone truck).....
any idea on some quarter mile times?

Re: procharged c5 Depends...if its a auto or M6, and what gears he's got in it. I'd say mid 11s is a good base to shoot for tho...altho im sure it can be faster <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
And the motor "should" be able to take about 10psi stock, altho since your going to upgrade the fuel system, theres one less variable you've got to worry about. Now the next "main" thing will be compression. If you want to run some good boost #s, you'll have to get forged pistons w/ lower ratio's then the stockers. But, 8-10lbs should be alright

I do know people that are doing it but I would never run that much unless I had budgetted new internals when they go. I have a buddy running 10psi in a ZO6 and is putting down 587rwhp!!!!! But, man, he is on the ragged edge. Haven't talked to him in awhile either to get a progress report. I think 8psi is about as much as you want and 5-7psi seems to be more normal. And, yes, you should see mid 11s easily(and about 450-500rwhp) with a proper set up. Just realize that slicks and a clutch still leave some other "unhardened" parts(ie.tranny, halfshafts) unprotected. Have fun and good luck.

Re: procharged c5 Ive never personally seen an LS1 running 10psi before, but ive heard of them being able to handle 10psi. The compression is a little high on the LS1/LS6 to pull off 10 daily, but if thats the case, run 8 and be done. Most of the tuner cars pushing boost see 6-8, but i dont think 10 is out of the question

Re: procharged c5 I dont think even 8psi is safe. It can be done for a while, but the motor is not going to take serious abuse for a long time at that level.

Re: procharged c5 Tune Tune Tune its all about the tune. Go with the single intercooler and at the very most 8psi. I would recomened 7 but its not up to me. I have seen to many horror stories on these set ups. Make sure you get Ati to send you the new idler pulley also. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
