Default I bought a Procharger today!!!

Well guys finaly after all the BS I put ya'll through with asking questions and your awsome feedback. I bought a Procharger, with the D1SC 8 rib kit, 60 lb injectors, FMIC, etc. It should be going on sometime in mid June and I can't wait I am making 400rwhp as of right now and plan on running 7 lbs of boost until I can afford to forged the bottom end. But over all thanks for all your patience and I am glad to be apart of this site. By the way LS1 TECH F****** Rules

Default Nice One

Hey man,

Be sure to post numbers as to the effect it has. I'm two steps away from the procharger still (looking at summer '07 for the install), but that's the route I'm looking at now. I'll have to go back to check some of your other threads 'cause I'm sure I'll be asking some of the same stuff you did. Also, I can't disagree with your opinion of this forum. Lot's of great info, and the entertainment I get from some of the kill threads is priceless.

Too bad you didn't buy before the May 15th price increase!!!

I'm envious, you have no idea how badly I want a D1.

Smile Shipping Time

I Have bought 3 over time . I'm in N.E. TX. & it took less than a week.every time. I had a P1SC on a 346 & it didn't make boost quick enough in my opinion.Went to a 3.9 gear & 3500 stall. That helped a lot. Wish I would have bought the D1SC in the 1'st place.I sent it back for an upgrade to D1SC.I could'nt believe the change!! You are going to LOVE that blower!! I strongly suggest T-BOLT clamps & silicone hose. That hose they send feels like conveyor belt rubber,too hard,poor sealing qualities. Those cheap rad. hose clamps strip easily & wont clamp that hose.I told Dave Culver( SHOP BOSS) yesterday that most people would gladly pay a few bucks extra.(seems like we should'nt have to replace this stuff considering what a kit already costs)A good tune will put you in the 10's.

Default clamps

No, ATI doesn't offer the hoses in silicone, nor the T Clamps. You can purchase T Clamps at your local Napa Auto Store. We use the ATI supplied hoses all the time, and we haven't experienced any leakage problems with them. Bob

I have bought my Procharger as well but won't get it put on until I get back from Iraq. I'd like to know how much you make also, so I can have an idea as to what I will make. You can see in my sig what mods I have.

Default Ati Hose

Sure not trying to argue.Do you really feel those cheap clamps provide any clamping force on that ATI hose? Since I have owned several prochargers I feel qualified to say that hose is too stiff. Silicone is more expensive but there are LS1TECH supporters that supply it at a reasonable cost. Along that same line, considering what a kit costs,I dont think you should have to go to NAPA for anything! My 2 cents worth, I love Prochargers or I wouldn't have bought 3.

I have had no problems with there couplings-hoses or clamps. I did how ever upgrade to silicone connectors and T bolt clamps just for my piece of mind. Head over to
http://hightempsilicone.com/ sponsor for your needs. Great guy to deal with. LS1Tech discount, with super fast shipping.
