I agree, a ProCharger D-1SC has powered a built 347 into the high 8's on a T/A. Bob

i disagree. blow by causes overpressure of the crankcase and oil to get in intake. not the intercooler piping itself. while a catchcan will reduce oil consumption it does nothing for leaking turbo oil seals. oil in the intercooler is a serious thing and it will only get worse.

If you have a auto i would go with a sts..My father in law is completely happy with his. His is on a 05 c6 and it runs like a raped ape!! however if you are a m6 i would go with a d1 procharger, and it sounds like you have some bolt ons that would compliment the procharger more.

its an easy kit to install and you can make alot of power with it,the intake temps are so low compared to front mount turbos.i made 685 at the tires on 11 pounds no meth kit and a procharger intercooler and i am not even punched out yet i got room for alot more boost.awsome street car.it all depends on what you want street or strip.you just have to set it up right.you cant run forced induction on that stock bottem end and valvtrain for to long i would beef things up first if your planning on more than 5 lbs like rods,pistons,rocker arms,lifters,pushrods.my motor only lasted for about 4 months on 5 lbs before i did a full build.
