Looks like my dad had $5k for me in a checking account I didnt know about. If all goes well & I can have the $. I think id like to get a used procharger kit. I cant get the supercharger idea out of my head since i picked up a powerdyne kit a few weeks ago, & sold after reading the bad reviews on it. Say I go with the procharger kit. What other supporting mods will I need & what kinda of hp gains and track times could i see? I have a 00 trans am, 6 spd, 80k miles, slp cat back, hallowed out cats with a k&n air system. near bone stock.

Not to sound like a dick but this has been asked 100's maybe even 1000's of times. That being said. This thread is the "REAL" deal when that question arises...https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-in...induction.html

Goodluck!

If you decide to go turbo I have an APS kit that I am trying to get rid of. Keep that in mind also while you do your research.

I think I'm going to stick with engine work for now, heads/cam. Just ordered QPT long tubes, weiand intake & 80 mm TB. Doing all the supporting mods for a cam and going from there. Thanks for the advise.

your going to be better off sending that weiand back and buying a fast 90/90 setup. How old are you? Not college age by chance are ya? If so, I would recommend saving some money for college, trust me.
