~Procharger Build Write up~
I stated with mounting my intercooler and worked from it to where pro charger is, pretty much I just cut the side off of the bottom cover, where the horn is and ran my pipe above it, and the piping from inter cooler to throttle body, all I had to do was move my fuse box and ran through the hole that is already in the body. (Also have to remove air pump if u haven't yet).
Thanks for this writeup...It's certainly going to be helpful to most of us venturing into the LS1 blower world.......I'm curious to see how much power you put down with about 8lbs of boost.....I'm shooting for 525hp with a stock LQ4, Brutespeed blower cam, PRC 5.3 stage 2.5 heads, LS9 head gaskets, ARP head bolts and a P1SC....

Wait opposite to the ls1 fbody?
I thought the ls1 was opposite to the lt1 rotation. Does this mean that a lt1 blower will be proper rotation for the truck setup? IE my lt1 blower should be proper rotation for a 5.3 and accompanied bracket?

Yes, that's correct. LS1 f-body is reverse rotation.
Honestly guys, there's quite a few write-ups for Procharger installs, no offense sweet99ss. Do a search and guys have documented their build countless times. That's the beauty in doing a Procharger setup is it's really not that difficult and can be done over the course of a weekend or a few nights after work.

Yes I agree once you get all the parts it's not bad. Do you have any info on installing the cxracing intercooler? Is there a lot of custom work needed to make it work or does it pretty much just all go together?
Here's what mine looked like:
You have to figure out a way to mount it to the front of the car. Burkhart makes a front brace that you can bolt to the car and bolt the intercooler to, of if you don't want to do that, you can fab your own brackets to bolt up to the car and mount the intercooler.
Once the IC is mounted, it's just simple plumbing using clamps and cutting when you need to.
I did it exactly like alchemist did. I copied his IC setup when i did my build. Its pretty simple. Just center the IC. I bought some angle iron, 4 bolts/nuts with some washers, and i drilled holes in the top of my bumper. I made my own spaces out of a piece of aluminum tubing from menards. Use a miter saw with a metal blade to cut ur tubing. Hold ur tubing up where u want it, mark it and cut it. One thing i would of done differently is have my IC piping bead rolled. U can make ur own bead roller out of an exhaust u bolt clamp, a washer and a pair of vice grips.
