JJ sells alot of prochargers. seems like he was selling one when I was looking for one.
Glad to see you bit down on the 8 rib setup. you can look into the poor mans beltwrap method. some have had great success with it while others felt they wasted time. as long as your around 8-10 lbs it should hold pretty well. After that you may want to splurge and grab the aster or the SDCE bracket.
the hardest part of the install, to me was pinning the crank. Other than that it went smoothly. Label the bolts and where they go. bag em up. youll be done in 2-3 days even if its your first time as long as you have basic knowhow .
I highly doubt it will be any cheaper. But it will be quicker to install, less hassle, and youll make some great power. Blower all the way. Makes some neat noises too. Brandon's car is a stock bottom freak IMO

I'm a little nervous about pinning the crank, but I recently just drilled the inside of my crank out and helicoiled it so I'm a little scared about pulling the new ati balancer on also.
I think it will be a little cheaper. I've found some pretty good deals. From what I had added up for my a/c kit I think I't will be a little cheaperr

No if you put my pulley on a stock ls1 heads and cam you would make more boost because of restriction of motor. Won't make more power but it will show a higher psi.

Go with a 5" pulley at first. Just like 35th said, you might make between 5-8psi, it just depends on what's been done to your car. Worst case scenario is you only make 5psi and you want more power than that, so you can pick up a new pulley for around $70.
I guessed, and picked a 4.00" pulley as I was looking for 8-10psi, but I have a great set of heads and decent size cam. Buuuut, I went with the truck inlet and big filter, also a FMIC and ended up making north of 14psi on a stock bottom end motor. Needless to say the power was great, quite addictive, and was just too much for the stock pistons.

Well I have everything over priced a little bit so I think I can get in it cheaper than what I have listed. Plus I really don't have the money to buy the full kit right now so it's easier to just piece it together and find parts as cheap as possible. I'd still buy your kit, but for less money. I've seen kits like yours but with the more expsive intercooler kits for the same or less $. The cx racing intercooler is only $450 shipped. I'm sure you'll sell it though. It's not a bad price just not what I'm willing to pay right now.

yeah allout's kit is def worth the coin.
as far as pulley. I had a 4.13 and I was making 9lbs at 5800 rpm. Right at 600hp.
Id prob do a 4.5"" like mentioned above. keep it safe and enjoy it for a while. the larger pulley will also provide more belt wrap. the smaller the pulley, the higher the potential for slip i have been told. It can also depend on the overall setup and camshaft ect.....

With the standard 8 rib 7.65" crank pulley, with a D-1SC a 4.50" pulley will generally get you 8 psi of boost, if the engine is stock with headers and exhaust. This is providing you don't live in a higher elevation. Bob
