Default D1SC is it TOO much

Is the D1SC TOO much for a stock lt1? What else is needed?

No, but it all depends on what type of boost level you want to use. LT1's are pretty good at holding up as long as they dont have a million miles on them when you decide to start upgrades.
Do you mean what else is needed for the Pro charger kit?

You can run the D-1SC at relatively low boost levels on the LT1, so if you purchase one and only want to run 7 psi of boost, you can indeed do so. It is all in the pulley size that the ProCharger is spec'd out with.
You will need 42lb fuel injectors, a 255 litre in tank fuel pump, and tuning.
I recommend the SVO (BOsch) 42lb fuel injectors, a Holley pn# 12-914 "forced induction" fuel pump, and a good dyno tune. Bob

Actually, those 42's may not be enough... Unless you have an adjustable FPR to raise the pressure.
My STOCK LT1 with Longtubes, ORY, 4" mufflex cat-back, and the D1-sc maxed those injectors out by 5500. It was supposed to be an 8psi pulley but I was getting 10psi if I revved it up to 6K rpm.
You dont need to buy the Holley pump, you'll be spending more money than neccessary. I say this because almost all the brands out there selling 255lph in-tank or in-line pumps are simply selling a Walbro pump... If you buy the Holley, BBK, Edelbrock, etc., your paying extra for the name on it.
Just make sure your Walbro is the 255 "High Pressure" model wich is the same thing as that Holley "Forced Induction" pump.
The beauty of buying the Walbro, without someone elses name on it is the price... I paid $150 shipped for mine. I'll try to find the link to the place I bought it from for you.

id go with 60# injectors,they dont cost much more,give you room to grow and are easy to tune.Then u wont have to buy twice if u upgrade.Get an intank walbro off ebay for like $90.Now you have a reliable and affordable fuel setup that gives you room to grow and didnt break the bank.

Each car is different but with the boost level that the kit comes with I would say somewhere in the range of 450 or more.

For a stock LT1, I would still recommend going with the 42# injectors. I wouldn't push it past 8 psi of boost on the stock bottom end.
I used 42# injectors on my LS1 at 15 psi, believe it or not. I wouldn't of used them on a customer's engine at that psi with the rwhp we were seeing, but we were experimenting... Bob
