Default procharger p600b kit

ok so i have a 95 lt1 z28 with manley 9-5-1 compression pistons and manley forged rods and stock ported heads and flowmaster and cold air intake and ram hd clutch and b&m rippershifter. on the way is a Procharger P600B kit twin intercooled and 4.10s.. how hard and long does it take to install this on your own? i have access to garage and jacks and jack stands. but will i have to remove anything or delete anything from the engine bay to make this kit work. and also im gettin 42# injectors for it and a fuel pump and a tune from PCMforless for now.. does that sounds like a good set up anyone have experience with them or similar setup and about what power gains should i expect? i believe its about 8-9psi kit.?

I had this exact kit on my car a few years back. You will have to relocate the traction control unit if so equipped. Big pain in the ***! Crank pulley comes off to install spacer. Have to move cruise control motor. Have to tap into front of the pan for return. Air pump gets moved. Its all very straight forward if you do not have traction control. As the unit is lubed via the motor make sure to disconnect the return to verify oil supply during initial start up.

Since you will need to install colder plugs I would do wires at this time as well. Make sure your opti is in good working order. It will take some time as anything on an LT-1 lol, but does deliver some pretty decent results. I made about 400rwhp with a stock LT-1 and the P-600B. Have fun. I might have missed a few things as it has been a long time since I installed that thing!

I have a reprogrammed computer for a six speed car. Mine was a 96 if you are interested. I had the guys at turbo technologies send it out for programming.

It probably can make some more but it is their (IIRC) smallest, oldest technology blower.

Well, I looked it up and here's a couple specs. The B model is more modern than I thought:

Max HP: 775

Max flow (cfm): 1200, same as the P1SC

Max rpm: 60,000

I was thinking of the P600, which had the old straight-blade impeller.

So I think you should be able to break into the 500's pretty easily with this unit.

My PCM is programmed for the 8psi P-600B kit. I did one dyno pull of 400rwhp and the second one made 450rwhp. Thats alot with fairly stock engine! Its a very reliable blower for sure. I beat the hell out of mine.

but doesnt your pcm have to be tuned exactly for your mods? like wouldnt i have to have one specifically for a 355 with 9-5-1 compression pistons and 410s and 42# injectors?

If you are def going to a lower compression and ported heads then the answer would be yes. If he stayed stock as I did with only bolt ons and exhaust then no. The best way would be to have the car dino tuned. Do you have any good tuners in your area?

i already have lower compression and stuff. soo i would deff need a dif tune. and no the only tuners here are honda tuners. they wont touch my z28. haha all they will do is sit there and talk **** obut how much faster there built dohc turboed 30psi honda is. soo id almost have to get a tune from pcmforless or something.
heres my current mods:
block bored and honed 355
manley 9-5-1 pistons
manley forged rods
stock ported and polished heads
felpro gaskets
cold air intake
flowmaster exhaust
B&M ripper shifter
ram hd clutch
motive 410s (need installed, but wanna do that with the supercharger and tune)
and other than that im pretty sure im mainly stock. i would like to get the supercharger on and 410s and tune and see wat i lay down and maybe find a blower cam somewhere? just not sure where i can get one yet.

id strongly rethink those 4.10's. these blowers live off RPM so you might be taking a few steps back going up to 4.10's

id keep whatever is in your rear now, probably 3.42's. i had an auto with 3.73's in my old camaro and a crappy paxton blower at 7psi. car pulled like a beast but would lose it on the top end compared to something with a little taller gear

id what gears are in it now but i hate them. i down shift to 2nd to take a turn or something and its like almost dead no power its down to like 1k or below. i mean damn i dont want to go to 1st gear to make a turn somewhere. idk i just wanted to get better gears and i ended up buying 410s because seems like everyone with 6speeds have them.i rode in a mustang with 410s b4 and they felt wicked but no gas mileage haha. so the procharger wont have any power with 410s?

The blower will cure that problem. Steep gears + Supercharger = Wheelspin.

You need to coordinate your mods to work well together, not just take the bits that other people are using effectively. How do I know this? By doing exactly what you've done, but a number of years ago. Ended up selling stuff at a loss to put the right combo together.

Even now with 3.73's on the car, as I increase the power I get traction issues. First fix was drag radials, but the coming motor (target is 800rwhp) will demand gears like a 3.23 or even a 3.08.

As someone noted above, with a stick and a blower I would make sure you have posi and stay somewhere around 3.42.

You will need a 12-bolt soon enough anyways!

Stick with your current rearend until it starts making noises! Or you can be proactive and sell it. 12-bolts (complete), like a Moser IIRC are about $1800 plus shipping.

A huge budget is perfect for an FI car!
