Exclamation Good Deal or Not?

buddy of mine has a F1 Procharger setup for 98-02 F-Body with polished box, all wiring, 42 lb injectors, all piping and both intercoolers, less than 1,000 miles was on a ZL1 Camaro that was hardly driven. - Everything needed for $4,800 should i jump on that deal???

If you had the money I would get it but those 42lb injectors are going to be done QUICK if you're spinning that thing at all...

unless he has a built motor I doubt he will be able so slow it(the F1) down enough to use it without popping his stock motor...

An F1 with 42# injectors is like trying to stick your dick in a gnat's ***. I'm not sure if the kit is a good deal, but it is definitely mis-matched.

Sounds like the kit was originally a P1 or D1 kit and a F1 head unit was added to it. For one thing those small @ss twin coolers will not handle a F1 by any means. An F1 will need a single big intercooler. Also you will need to upgrade the injectors and fuel pump. There is no way 42# and a stock pump will feed an F1. I would keep shopping.

For the parts alone though, that is a great deal! If you don't buy it, PM me the contact info for the kit
