daily driver
daily driver i have a 95 Lt1 camaro and i want to get a turbo or supercharger but theres so many out there and im not sure what to get its a bone stock lt1 with cat back loudmouth SLP and a 160 thermo i only drive the car from june to october but during that time its my only car i put about 7 or 8 thousand miles on it last year. i have up to like 5 or 6 grand. some help me please
no thats too much boost on a stock bottom end.You'd have to stick to about 8#'s or so.For turbo kits some like the STS kit for simplicity and cost.The Hi flow turbo kit is looking good and is priced well and gives you room to upgrade.Either way your limited to how many psi because of the stock motor.As far as fuel,you'll want 60# injectors, and an intank fuel pump like a walbro 255.
obviously the full supercharger kit.Then youll want 60# injectors,a walbro 255 intank fuel pump.Then ull need some gauges to monitor your system like a boost gauge,fuel pressure gauge,and a wideband gauge to monitor your air/fuel. Then Whatever intake and exhaust you want.And then you'll need a clutch and thats about it for your setup and youll make about 500rwhp give or take.

You can use the stock intake manifold but if you want more power then you can go to the lt4 intake...As far as the 60lb injectors, I would use those if you think that you're going to maybe build the bottom end in the future and want to turn the boost up over 12psi...If not some 42lb injectors would probably suffice what you are needing...
They say boost is addicting.Why buy smaller now if theres a tiny chance that youll have to rebuy all over again down the road.The price difference isnt huge between 42 and 60# injectors.And you can get them both to idle fine so why not go big enough to cover yourself.And your stock intake will be fine.
your best bet would be doing all the bolt ons first, then getting a power adder suchas a supercharger.
on stock internals, i wouldnt suggest pushing more than 10psi even on a good tune.
with over 500whp you might want to beef up the drive train so you dont break something. but thats all in the stickies.
also youd get more power with long tubes into an xpipe.

There is always the search funtion which will yield every single question you will ever imagine related to the ATI......
Some cool things and not so cool things about the ATI is it has a self contained oil system, installation is straight fwd, get it in a reasonable time frame
not so cool are belt slip issues
42lb injectors will do, but if you have any desire to up the boost for serious power your gonna be changing those injectors again, so why not spend the extra $100 or whatever and set yourself up right the 1st time so you don't have to spend 2x as much.
