I am thinking about building a supercharger kit for my C5. I know there are alot of proven kits but I want to take it to the next level. I assume I am gonna need...
Headunit: F1R
Custom Brackets
8 Rib Reichard SC Pulley
8 Rib Reichard Crank Pulley
8 Rib Ford Alternator pulley
8 Rib custom power steering pulley
4-7 Aluminum U bends
Spearco Intercooler Core
Aluminum Sheetmetal for tanks
2 Idlers
7x lb injectors
Silicone tubing.

Did I forget anything? Where can I find a headunit, power steering pulley and who sells brackets?

For a street car I would look at the F1C before the F1R. How much power are you looking for?

Speed INC built me a sweet Custom blower package.

I think im holding the record for a LS1, F1 rwhp.....

 

im not being a smart *** but a BOOST gauge

 

Phil, don't forget to lower the compression ratio on the motor. At 12.2:1 and 5 - 10psi, you're motor isn't going to be happy. That is, of course, unless you plan to run race gas all the time.

 

Why would you go F1C vs F1R?
Phil

 

How much power are you looking to make?

 

750+ RWHP. I am not scared of tuning, big cams, or race gas.
Phil

 

You dont want a f1r for 750 rwhp....... A custom kit with a fmic and a d1sc could make that.... The F1r is a race blower if your looking for 1000rwhp use a F1r if your looking for 800-900 rwhp use a f1 and custom blower set up.

 

They don't make the F1 anymore right Gordon?

I would not use a D1 for a 750rwhp project as noted, I would go F1 series.

 

Whats the difference between an F1 and F1R?
Phil

 

Procharger still has it listed on there web site. The are missing the f1a head unit so I dont know when they last updated that list.


The F1R is a much larger blower. Look at ATI's website....

 

I was advised to go with an F1R and a 5.40:1 step up to run a big pulley. 4.5 and 7.75"
Phil

 

The more the step up, the more likely it is to having slippage problems right?

F1R is like 2000 cfm, and I think the F1 is 1500.

 

Thats a good question.
A 5.0:1 stepup with a 4.10" pulley
is roughly the same as a 5.40:1 stepup with a 4.43" Pulley
