Real cost of procharger build
Real cost of procharger build 2000 trans am pro charger build. i had a problem a few months ago and found out i broke a spring in my heads on a cam ls1. So i figured like all car guys go big or go home right??? i had some tools and had a buddy help out. so i started out and bought a 6.0 ls1 iron block (truck) used to get a stable platform then forged all internals and Brute Speed FI cam. At the same time i bought a used F1 pro-charger w/twin intercoolers. so i looked into some stuff and decided i needed to do a fuel up grade so i went with a Lonnies performance set up and 80 lb injectors. Had a pair of kooks headers that i already had to put on so didn't count if in final coast. but everything else has been listed to get this done. Engine is almost done and will be installing asap. And my budget was $12-13k at the beginning just goes to show you will never hit you budget but will have one hell of a car. i think am going to sell some left over parts to bring down the coast some haha. I did all wrench work and then took the car to get an exhaust, tune and meth kit put in and done at Slowhawk Performance in MA. (Great shop and Don is one of the best in the business)

Here is the graph.
Car has 4.10 gears,stock inlet hat and stock 3" intercollers which definitely show restriction above 5200rpm. 3.42 gears would kick these numbers near the 700hp mark on our mustang dyno.
Cheers.

This is with 3.5" twin intercoolers or the 4.5" twin intercoolers? If it is the 3.5" twin intercoolers they are really putting a hurt on this combination. Bob

Wow Don, I bet you wouldn't want to put your hand on one of the intercoolers after making a run! Bob

Before meth inlet temp hit 150's on a pull and it's 55 degree's in the shop. LOL
I know his future plan is a front mount, move radiator for better inlet ect. That itself will kick power up a good bit, nevermind drop inlet temp.

im glad to hear that, so is there anything besides a single intercooler system to help this set up out?? know they are hurting it but had them and didnt have to money to go w/ a single and have some just incase funds around
You have the real cost with going all out on a lot of things. Here is my "budget build" I'll have about $3000 into mine total by the time I'm done and sell the parts that I take off. Mine is cheaper also because I don't add in a lot that is already setup on the car like the fuel system, exhaust, intake and stuff.

the truck inlet hat or a custom one, or none at all
better fuel
more timing.
lighter brakes/wheels/driveshaft
suitable gears
more compression
cutout
c02
less belt slip
and the less stuff the crank has to turn the easier it will turn the blower i have heard. a/c pulley.
spin it max or a little over

ya you can deff do it cheaper but ur leaving out a/f gauge, mapping bar 2 or 3 (tuning), and idk what you have done to your fuel system but you really need to pumps (injectors)... and ur planing on pushing 5 to 7 and im pushing around 13 and im just starting w/ my s/c... i could of chose to not forge all my stuff but then you have to worry about popping you engine...
my point w/ this tread is to show what you need to pay and have done if you dont want to worry about something going wrong, i was trying to build a platform to grow on and have the reliablity down the road as dd or driving it as much as possible (while being able to beat on it as much as i wont) can you do it for cheaper yes but iv heard it cost more in the long run bc you break things.... kinda why im pushing 13 lbs of boost when the f1 can put done 20+
But if you have headers and exhaust thats an expense that you can take off but when people think about putting a supercharger on their car most think you can buy a 3500-8000 "kit" and be ready to go and its not like that. Thats not even counting the suspension parts that you really nee (that i already have) like subframe connectors, torque arm, rear lower control arms, front/rear shocks and springs
just wanted to let people know what they where getting into before they start this rout just read on ur thread and it looks like your starting to figure out that theres things that you have to upgrade that you would never think of just for a lil boost.... big heads and cam is a lot cheaper, but i love the wine
good luck with your build man

and what i really meant was stuff that will make it run better and keep me out of trouble (save my as from braking).... like the return fuel line, manual tensioner ect???... kinda putting a list together for the near future to help
thanks guys

1. I have an a/f gauge already installed because I get my car custom street tuned by a friend that tunes all LSx cars around here.
2. My fuel system is a racetronix pump with hotwire that's good to 650+hp. And racetronix 42lb injectors.
3. Yes I'm running much less boost so I won't have to worry about blowing the engine. At your boost level you would def be pushing it.

And that is def a good way to do it if you have the $ to do it all at once!

See that's the thing I already a lot of stuff done to the car... I have qa1 12 way adjustable front suspension, lca's and drag spring on back with Nt05r drag radial.

Yep **** can add up quick

Thanks man you too! I'll be watching your build!
