+1 on getting it tuned by a pro... you're gonna be really pissed when that car you just financed spits connecting rods all over the street from a bad tune. If it's driving that poorly, stop driving it until you get an appointment for a tune.

A great tune can not be said enough, What plugs and gap do you have? Make sure they are NGK TR6 gapped @ .032 to .035
Welcome to the Procharged world, this forum rocks!

Its got potential, I thought it was a steal for $7400 I just need to get it running smooth and I think I'll have one of the fastest cars around town. I'm looking into having it tuned by a pro, again because the whole thing is finance and this is my 4th Fbody I've learned to go the extra mile the first time and not worry about everything blowing up because I cheaped out.

If anyone else has suggestions, or if they already have a procharged LS1...let me know the tips and tricks. I'm not new to fbodys but I am new to supercharging and etc. so any advice or direction is appreciated.

Thanks.

Like everyone else said get it tuned. A tune is the most important aspect of the car. What else are you trying or wanting to do?

This weekend was really nice and I was able to go through everything. Right next to the supercharger on a seperate vacuum line I have what looks like a BOV, but its all rusty and corroded. If this is worn out, wouldn't this be my problem.

If the BOV is not opening when its suppose to i.e. under throttle and shifting gears...then it would cause my car to bog down? I did some reading on this site and a few others about BOV's and I think i'm going to take mine off and clean it up to see if it makes a difference when I drive.

I don't see a faulty bypass valve causing the engine to bog. You can hook it up to a vacuum pump and check to make sure it is functioning correctly. Bob

Agreed with Bob, if the bypass isn't opening like it should it wuld cause the air to back up into the supercharger and it would cause a high idle, but not bogging. Just like everyone else said, get that car to a tuner.

It is possible the MAF sensor is bad causing faulty readings to get to the computer, but there's not way to know without having a good log of what the computer is seeing when the problem happens, and a tuner can do this for you.

The bottom line is for troubleshooting that will be the most valuable help even if it is a bad part somewhere, having the scan is more helpful than trying to throw guesses out across the internet.

So after talking to some people at the local cruise last week that had supercharged cars, and knew what they were talking about. I tightened the pulley down on the belt and I am now running about 6psi of boost out of the car. Its running like a dream, and I'll be taking it to dyno days next weekend to have it tuned. The one thing I have left to do is replace the actual belt itself, its showing some signs of wear and a little cracking, so after this weekend I should be golden.

If anyone is looking at this post to troubleshoot, ask the pro's and make sure you tighten your pulley's. Mine was a simple fix and now my car is running fine.
