ProCharger's???? I kinda want to get a procharger. But I am sceptical about getting one. I have a stock 02 Z28 that I would like to have some fun with, and you always want more power, who does'nt? Some of the questions I have are,
Do they produce as much power as people say they do?
Are they worthy enough for a daily driver?
I know fuel economy will go down but how much?
How hard is it to install?
The price I seen was farely cheap, So I was wondering if it was a typo or are they under a grand?
If anyone has any information for me regarding this, I would greatly appriciate it. Thanks

Easily daily drivable... more so than a hardcore heads/cam package if you ask me
Fuel economy will only go down when you are accelerating really hard, but under normal driving it will be about the same + or - a little
I have no idea on the install of the kit for an FBody... Mines on a GTO
The kits usually run between $4k and $5k
Under a grand?! If they were THAT cheap, 80% of the guys here would have Procharged cars then. They run around $6,000 most of the time. If you see any type of supposed supercharger for under a grand, it's either a typo or a complete scam.-Yes, they produce a damn good amount of power. On a stock car, you'll hit 400+ rwhp pretty easy. Depending on which model you get (D-1SC is the best), you're looking at hitting 450 rwhp.
-If there's any supercharger for a daily driver, this is it. They're very mild mannered until you start getting your foot into it.
-I wouldn't imagine fuel economy would go down much, if at all. If it did, it would only be because you'd be flooring it more to feel the power.
-They provide installation instructions. If you don't feel confident doing it, definitely take it to a very good shop around you or pay someone else who knows what they're doing.
a buddy of mine had one on his vert before he wrecked it and he absolutely loved it.. it made 457 rwhp with just the procharger, headers and true duals and this was on only like 7 pounds of boost i think and a very conservative tune. He also said the gas mileage wasn't affected by the procharger and it was great as a daily driver..he now has a TA with a built 402 but he always says he wishes he still had the procharged car.. P.S. you wont find any type of forced induction for under a grand

Thanks for all the information, My buddy was the one telling me about it so I started to look it up, And it was a typo, I just got off the phone with the Compony, For a 5 to 7 pound boost system it would run me a lil over a 5,000. I think I will end up getting one, but that is aways down the road, But till then I guess I will be wishin in one hand and you know what in the other. Lol
Thanks again.

Lol... you might be able to just get the blower, as itself, for a grand... with no ductwork, intercooler, fuel system etc....
What are you trying to get at with your car? Mostly street car and occasionally at the strip or vice versa? You could buy a procharger, FMIC, get some 3in alum. tubes and do it yourself pretty easily for less than 6grand. You will also need to add some more fuel to the stock setup. The 6grand system your talking about is not difficult to install... They (procharger) give you instructions and they do a good job of explaning the steps. If you need any help w/ the install you always got us here... hope this helps...
A procharger just sounds BAD ***... IMO

Yes, we typically see a 140 rwhp gain with 8 psi of boost.
Are they worthy enough for a daily driver?
Yes, you can still use your car on a daily basis, and take road trips with it.
I know fuel economy will go down but how much?
You might see a loss of 1 mpg during part throttle driving conditions. Many of our customers don't see any loss at all.
How hard is it to install?
On any forced induction install, I would double the suggested time if it is your first forced induction kit. I would allow for 16 hours.

Give me a call at 260 244-4808 for a super low price, although it will be slightly higher than a grand. lol Bob
