Awesome man. These cars are just plain animals when you put forced induction on them. Be prepared to buy lots of new tires. Enjoy!

Congrats on the buy. It's sad to see Brian take it off his car but good to see another member pick it up.

Bob, I tried to call your shop today to order a stock 7.65" crank puller and a 4.5" blower pulley. But I think your phone system was messed up. I will just try to give you a call on Monday. If you have it in stock let me know and I will take off of work a little early and swing by and pick them up Monday too.

I am looking forward to the install. It should be fun and interesting. I am very very excited to pick this kit up. Now I just need a 9" rear to go with it.

As soon as it is done I am driving it to EPP and dropping it off for a dyno tune. I think I should be around 520 - 540RWHP with the pulley sizes I am going with .

Have a good time and take your time, I would suggest taking a break after one to many beers and come back to it the next day to make sure everything was done right. good luck.

Well, I got the FMIC kit installed. The gauge pod installed. SDCE fan installed. And we are calling it a day. I would have had teh J-bracket and blower on today but the belt I need was not in stock at NAPA. So I will pick that up tomorrow and get the rest of the blower installed tomorrow and also work on the fuel system. So Sunday afternoon or Monday after work I should have it all installed.

I will post a couple pictures of what got done today after dinner.


FMIC Installed from the front


FMIC from the drivers side. Showing my laptop I never leave LS1Tech.com. This site is so great I can ask questions and get an almost instant response.


I thought we had more pictures of the install taken but it looks like we all slacked. Tomorrow first thing I will get more pictures taken of everything.

Here is your Vid Brian! Procharger Start Up

It started a little rough. There was no fuel in the lines. Had to get it going. But after it started it idled fine.

We basically got everything installed today. I still have some finishing touches to do. Cut some hoses to size finish hiding some wires and putting the front back on. We pretty much cut the front clip and everything to fit already. I just have to put it on tomorrow after I button up everything. I have about 6 hours invested into the set up right now. It was a team of 4 guys working on it. Installing the gauges and the procharger. We have never done it before and it went pretty smooth. Over all I am happy so far.

Now I just need to get it to EPP and get it tuned so I can have some fun!
