Procharger on stock LS1 *Help
I heard u have 100 Octane in Kuwait right? If thats true then u can run 10-12psi no worries. People here run 8psi max on pump gas which is 93 octane. For every two points increase in octane u can go 1psi higher. So u can run up to 12psi and u dont have to worry about detonation. Good luck.

your advice is very well, yeah.. 100 octane is very nice before i was used the 98 octane, now the 100 octane it's changed the car very much
the 100 octane is new from 9 months ago on the fuel stations.I am glad for your help
Thanks

Thanks
i.e. if there was a specialist in LS1s who only worked on LS1s would there be enough business to support the shop?

Chris. yes we have a specialist in LS1's, LT1's, TPI's. you can't image what they can do here in kuwait but without dyno test
may can i say same the US. With 8# of boost expect about 450RWHP and torque at about the same level. Headers will definetly be a good investment for supercharging but again make sure the tuning is done after installing the headers.
Keep in mind that a D1 procharger will only boost until about 6200 RPMs. If you have a cam your rev limit will hit about 6900 RPMs so you wont be making any much power within the 700rpm until you hit the REV limit. Something you should keep in mind.
I was very dedicated to the D1SC right until I saw the dyno sheets. Hope you know that with an 8# procharger it will ONLY start giving you 8#s of boost at 6000+ Rpms. Even at full throttle you will not see more than 5.5 #s of boost at 5000 RPMS. TAKE MY WORD FOR IT I KNOW THIS FOR SURE. The procharger is setup to be very linear to RPMs.
This link should give you a great idea what to expect from the supercharger that you want with your stock setup. Read the RPM increments sheets and notice the boost throughout the whole RPMS under where it says vacuum:

Being that you have 100 octane fuel you are in major luck for no engine problems. Just try not to get too gready on boost and your engine wont blow.
I also know that Kuwait gets really hot in the summer. Your car wont perform well with hot temperatures so I would be careful. Remeber your air to air intercoolers cool your intake to run more reliabily but sucking in hot air could make your air intake temperature worse. That you have to monitor as I dont know of anyone that has a procharger system in those kind of weathers. You might need a bigger radiator and a 160 thermostat and maybe even bigger fans. Those should help you out a lot in hot temps.
Even though 10#s is pushing it on the motor, if I were to go supercharged I would not go any lower than that boost level BUT HAVE IT DONE RIGHT! With 8#s of boost on your motor a stock LS1 would be able to beat you if he were to spray a 150 shot of nitrous. Thats the only reason I would want to go with 10# of boost. I simply cannot accept to pay around $7000 and get beaten by someone spending $500-$1000 in his mods as I would think it would make me look stupid. But thats just me.
The stock rear will also be a weak part with the supercharger installed. If you go to the track make sure you dont lauch at high RPMs and avoid slicks as much as possible. The rear will never break if the tires spin a little.
Wish you luck with it and by the way it sounds VERY nice. You will hear it the most at idle and wont hear it much when racing (especially if you have loud exhausts) but as soon as you take your foot off the gas pedal the Blow off Valve will sound super nice you will have a huge smile on your face.
LSs1Power. if you talking about kuwait you're wrong. we have 15's performance shop's just for GM's & Ford's cars, don't forget the track
