Exclamation Beware when buying a ProCharger D-1SC kit for an LS1 F Body!

I had a guy inquire about a price for a ProCharger D-1SC price. I gave him our total kit price, that includes everything needed. Here is what he replied.




Holy **** that's high, I was told you all were the ones to talk to about prochargers and had good prices but FC customs is almost 1000 less for the same setup.??


That kit will sell for $5785 with a D-1SC, a pro pump and injectors. Shipping will be $63. I will need to know about the car to insure you only working on 7psi but this is pretty easy.

Here is what I just replied to him.

Make sure they are selling you the 1GJ204-SCI kit, which is the 8 rib kit and comes with the larger 4.5" intercoolers. I can tell you right now it is not, it is a P-1SC kit that is upgraded to a D-1SC head unit. You would be getting the six rib belt system and the smaller 3.5" intercoolers. How do I know this? Because I am sure they are not selling a ProCharger at a huge loss. Bob

I can honestly say I shopped around EVERYWHERE and NOWHERE did I find a kit that came close to a price as yours, little alone as complete. You offer more for less, what else can you say. I'm just not ready to break my car yet, lol

Spend a little more now, and a LOT less later! Some people just don't understand that concept.

Bob, tell him to go ahead and get the "better deal" then. Then have him buy all the upgrades from you.

ATI ProCharger has very strict rules regarding putting prices into print that are any lower than 7.5% of MSRP. They don't allow it!

I get by with my complete D-1SC price because I am adding in all the added items which raises the price enough to be allowed. For a great price on a P-1SC tuner kit, please give me a call at 260 244-4808.

FC Customs will more than likely get yanked from being a ProCharger dealer for putting low prices into print.

Thanks! Bob

Bob do you have any updates on the HEMI kits coming out? Specifically for the SRT8?

I'd love an 8 rib D1SC kit with 3 core intercooler for my 300C SRT8

(Diablo is working on tuning so hopefully they can scale injectors etc)

Another 120-140RWHP in my land barge would be perfect!
Thanks!
Chris

Bob's activity on this board has bought him a lot of business. If I go the procharger route, I feel I'm almost obligated to goto Bob.

EPP is a Great place to deal with and has lots of experience. My decision was easy. Bought a F1A kit with a front mount IC, their knowledge has been an invaluable asset to date.

+1!!!

Bob is also great to deal with.

The 5.7 Charger is being finalized and then work will start on the SRT-8. There has been no work done on the 300C as of yet.

Good job on telling people to make sure they know exactly what they are getting before they purchase??? He just wants to make sure people are informed before they make decisions. Nothing wrong with that.

When you mean what type of place EPP is, you mean a place that's willing to come out and correct any sort of misunderstanding there is about a procharger kit for sale?

Yeah! What a shitty business!

Keep off the board. We won't be loosing a thing with you gone.
