Help from pro charger guys
Help from pro charger guys so this winter/ spring i started a pro charger project on my 2000 trans am
first i started out by building a 6.0L forged motor and went with Brute speeds blower cam.
then i went with lonnie's performance on the fuel system
kooks headers
bought a f1 procharger system with dual intercoolers from a guy used (going to switch to the front mount next year)
using 60lb injectors
Gage and Wide band O2 Air/Fuel ratio
aligment
exaust

There will be a lot of other small stuff to do after you get it going. What are your goals? What clutch do you have and the rear end wont last very long at that power level if you actually drive the car lol
well i plan to brake the motor in at around 7 to 8lb and then step it up after i know everything is all well and good hoping 500 or so, have a ram clutch that should support 1000 hp but we will c about that and ya i know im going to baby the rear end and keep streets on it but have 410 and a new cover that should help some but not planning on it lasting for long. asap im going to do 9"
The manual transmission and a 10 bolt is an invitation for a ride behind a tow truck, but it sounds like you already know that. Don't be banging gears with it, they can break even when going for third gear. Bob

Oh come on everyone disses the 10 bolt so much. I ran my 10 bolt for 1 year behind a D1 procharged motor that made 605rwhp. That same 3.42 geared 10 bolt thats only mod was a Girdle. Went a 1.60 60' and 10.5@136mph. The Trick to making it live is not trying to dead hook it and slipping the clutch off the line.
But on a side note. Sounds like you have your ducks in a line though otherwise but plan on having lots of little stuff come up

But I agree, sounds like the OP has things planned pretty good at this point.

Im impressed 
To be honest, I didnt break my rear end on my procharger setup until I actually went to the track and put drag radials on it. I drove around on the street just fine for a pretty good amount of time. As long as the street tires are the limiting factor, you can protect your rear end. I never got a pass at the track tho with a 10 bolt. First time ever with a procharger, got to the line, light turned green, dropped the clutch and the driveshaft let go. Called a friend and he brought his steel DS to me at the track, got back in line, got up to the lights, and then second drop of the clutch, the rear end let go. After that, I borrowed my buddys stock 10 bolt for 6 months while I saved for a 12 bolt.. I'm just surprised you ran at the track with a 10 bolt and 6 speed with a procharger!

Went 12.7s stock with DR and went 11.9s with ls6 cam and bolt ons. Then went procharged. Didn't take it to the track until the end of the year knowing I was getting the 9 in over the winter. However I made probably 40-50 passes at 600rwhp ranging form 11.2-10.5
