Default Procharger install how-to?

I know I know, I already tried searching but the search engine seems FUBAR for the moment. If anyone knows where there is a good how to on installing a procharger on a 2000 f-body I'd appreciate it. Also, installing a fuel pump like the Walbro 255. Thanks!

Dont you have the instructions from ATI??? It really is pretty easy. The hardest part is going to be the crank Bolt.
The threaded rod goes in were the alternator bolts were...... thread the posts in... mount the bracket...... IC's and the piping... install the new fan and shrowd and route the belt....... what are you exactly having problems with.. or have u not started yet???

I haven't even purchased it yet. I want to know what all is involved because it's just going to be my two hands in my garage doing it, so I like to be prepared before I start any project. Honestly I haven't even decided for sure that I want to go Procharger over turbo, but it just seems like total cost and ease of installation are better on the Procharger. Thanks!

A Procharger setup is pretty easy.. it lists the hand tools needed in the instructions..... It being your first time plan a whole weekend and take your time.
Really the fuel pump takes the most time.
who do u have in mind to tune it??

I have in the past given Procharger a call and they send out a install manual and parts brake down list. I even believe there is a online location to down load a copy but dont know where. Sure someone else will chime in.

As for you fuel situation I would go with a racetronics setup very easy and straight forward plug-n-play, with good directions, if your one of the lucky ones to get them.

As far as tune job I'll probably trailer it to a local dyno facility in Las Vegas. They do all of the local f-bodies apparently. I just don't really trust sending my computer in for a prefab tune. Can't see how they can appropriately tune for my conditions especially with how hot it gets here.

Racetronics, huh? Where do I find those? Plug and play, so is it just an auxiliary pump in the fuel line in addition to the tank pump? Is it priced comparably to a Walbro?

I don't need crazy horsepower. It's not a daily driver but it has to be a streetable 500whp. I was thinking 42# injectors and the Walbro would do the trick.

Thanks!
