I am looking at going forced induction on the new toy, 05 GTO. Was wanting to to a turbo, but after lots of searching no one really makes a kit to run a front mount turbo like the F-body kits. SO i have my eyes set on a Procharger setup, still debating on the D1 or the F1 for a street/Strip DD. 550-600rwhp would be plenty.

I am wanting to throw a camshaft in the car, i have left over new gaskets from several other motor which is just more reason to do it. After searching, i have seen a lot of good reviews on the Brute Speed blower cam and the Speed inc. SC2. Could I get away with putting the cam in the car before the Procharger gets ordered? I am sure it wont be as beneficial but I would just like to get it out the way.

Is it possible to buy head unit, bracket, and pullies? and make my own hot and cold side piping? Never seen procharger kits broken up like that why I am asking

Thanks

 

A lot of people have put our cam in their N/A car prior to buying a blower, and they generally pick up 60 rwhp.

I have a lot of the ProCharger GTO piece parts listed below.

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks. Bob

 

It is possible. I've been in the process for awhile. Not sure if I'm really going to save much over buying a kit. Bob is a great guy to deal with! I've gotten quite a few parts from him.

 

I put the brute speed cam in my t/a last year and ran it na. My car made 393/374 with stock injectors maxed out at 93% duty cycle. The car only had k&n filter, mid length headers, ory and slp lm2. Even had stock lid. Just ordered my procharger kit from Bob today. Can't wait to get it installed.

 

Thanks, I appreciate it!


Thanks James, I appreciate the orders. Bob

 

Go with the brute speed cam, I had one and it was awesome. Sounds NASTY!

 

Dang Bob seems like your the man, thanks for the info, I will be snooping on your site today @ work.

What your opinion on the D1 over F1

 

Thanks!


Thanks! At 14 psi or so I would start considering an F-1A over the D-1SC. Bob

 

Yeah i dont think stock internals would hold 14 psi well with no meth. I will contact you tomorrow Bob I am on vacation for the next few days thanks.

 

Sounds good, thanks! Bob

 

The brute speed cam works great, if you are looking for 600 rwhp go with the D1sc. I personally wish i would have went with the F1. Bob is a great guy to deal with, always there to answer your questions.

 

Bob@ Brutespeed is always top notch in helping out whatever questions you may have. I've ordered quite a bit of parts from him and will continue to do business with him in the future. Ernest

 

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it! Bob

 

Bob is that for a square port LS3 heads? Or a another cam you more benifical for the square port heads forgot to ask the other dy

 

The Brutespeed cam is pretty much the cam to get. You can't go wrong. And driving the car with just that cam will be a huge difference. A difference you will feel. Then if you are looking to add a procharger, the D1 will suffice for 600rwhp. You will want meth if you even plan on running around 9-11 psi. I am running 8lb and running meth going for a safe tune around 550-560ish to hold me over till I have my pistons and rods and heads on standby then ill push it to 12 and see what happens. It will also give you room to grow, since boost is in fact addictive as hell and you will end up wanting more. Bob is indeed the man, and we do not all sing his praises for no reason. just remember, there is a ton of stuff needed to account for the new found power. read the stickies at the top of the FI.

 

Well thank i8u I have a nitrous car and this is mainly the wife's car. I am just trying to make somewhat fast for her. Since I went into the nitrous world with my two vehicles I wanted to try the boasted world with her and she was game.

Meth will not happen, I have seen to many horror stories with meth pumps failing from the forgin car to highly praised late model gm shops. There was a shop build on here that the first track pass meth pump fail and toasted a motor.

Seems like 8 psi on a conservative tune with be plenty to hold her own on the street.

 

I am in the process of planning a build too but I will be using my LS1 but with all new internals so can I up the boost and have the low compression to do so.

Before I buy the D1 or even F1 and decide power and boost I wanted to see what you suggest about a forged 383 or 346. I have done some research on here and some say no probs and other say stay away from the 383 if you go FI. What do you think Bob?

 

I have seen really good results with either combo. The 346 can stay with the stock crank and save you a lot of money, the stock crank is good for 1000 hp. If I was to spend the money on a new crank, I would go with a 4.0 stroke to get the added cubes. Thanks. Bob

 

I've seen really great results with this cam with both cathedral and rectangular port heads. It has worked very well with the LS3 style heads. Thanks. Bob

 

Thanks Bob!
