Default My LS1 Supercharger Build

so I want to run a centrifugal force supercharger on my LS1. I plan on rebuilding it anyways. It is bone stock right now. I need suggestions. I want to find the best cam/intake/head combo that will work nicely with the sc.

I only want to run 8-9 lbs of boost so it will still be reliable. I don't want anything over 550 hp. I plan on slipping on a 4l80e as well and flashing the pcm and tuning her after everything is done. Should I upgrade my internals? sence i'm replacing them anyways. or should I stick with the originals? Not looking for crazy horse power either. like I said daily driver. alltho I would like to hit 500 rwhp. I'm a little rusty on Forced induction upgrading along with cc of combustion chamber. If you guys have builds or any suggestions. price isn't really an object but I don't want to destroy my pocketbook.

"I don't want anything over 550 hp."

For 550 rwhp you could add my blower camshaft, valvesprings, pushrods, timing chain and a ProCharger D-1SC at 8 psi, and call it a day assuming you have headers and exhaust. Since you have a 2002 you already have the LS6 intake manifold.

Let me know if you have any questions, and if you want to see a copy of the ProCharger installation instructions, send me an e-mail to brutespeed@gmail.com requesting them. Bob

Shoot I remember when I was striving for a maximum of 500HP out of my 427ci N/A, until I learned about what boost could do with those cubes.
