what do you guys think? an lt1 and a supercharger? the lt1 has just over 8000 miles yes 8 thousand miles on it. (fresh rebuild before i put it in) my goal is 400hp and 400tq think i can get that from a supercharger being that i am at 303 and 360 right now?

OMGz Turbo · 07-10-2009, 05:10 PM

Well i had a 1994 camaro ss with a STS turbo kit....it made just over 400 on both sides...I think with a DECENT blower setup its def possible

TurboDSMJ · 07-10-2009, 10:15 PM

I'd put a 100 shot on it and cruise it around town on motor.

driftingrx5.7 · 07-10-2009, 11:25 PM

nos is pointless for me being that i don't drag race i auto cross and road race thats why i was thinking supercharger

SuperCoyle · 07-11-2009, 06:09 PM

at the wheels? ( a vortech will give you 400 crank with like 7-8 psi)

driftingrx5.7 · 07-11-2009, 11:09 PM

it would be nice to get that to the wheels but i dont know what i am going to do really i think i am just going to leave it alone and just sell it

well i was going to go procharger at 7 psi

OMGz Turbo · 07-12-2009, 10:30 AM

+1 on a vortech, i have nothing but good **** to say about them!!!

driftingrx5.7 · 07-12-2009, 11:36 PM

vortechs are good but the one thing i like about procharger is self contained oil! you change the oil in it every time you change your engine oil. no tapping into the pan or looking for feeds its all there for you! and i have a really good friend pumping 600hp out of his mustang with a procharger!

I have Vortech on my G35 and its great. And its have a self contained oil. Every 7,500 miles you gotta change it.

i was gonna say procharger isnt the only one utilizing the self contained oil setup. However id MUCH rather tap a line than use the self contained unit. Simply because i know how often i change that oil and it would never bother me. Compared to having to dump oil into two seperate places.

IDK I personally have had much better luck running the vortech i feel the kit is better overall with better pieces aside from the head unit. I mean if i could use the Vortech kit with a procharger head unit i would be all about it.

driftingrx5.7 · 07-13-2009, 11:19 PM

yeah i understand i just dont like tapping into the oil pan. and as of right now i don't even want to look at the car. but thats a whole other post!

012.5RS · 07-14-2009, 11:11 AM

ive always heard from a lot of the blower guys vortech is good for around 5psi but anything above that say 7-8psi theyd go procharger due to the self contained oiling systemy as stated above

driftingrx5.7 · 07-14-2009, 11:49 AM

well looks like i am going the ls1 route so no more supercharger for me

012.5RS · 07-15-2009, 02:26 PM

could always get a blower for the ls1

driftingrx5.7 · 07-15-2009, 03:20 PM

well i think it has come down to the fact that i am going to fix the relay issue i have an i am just going to sell it

Ace · 07-17-2009, 09:10 PM

Shaun, you know you what that LSx RUSH!

Seriously though, your car runs awesome as it is...if you want to make reliable (key word) power, you gotta go LSx.

driftingrx5.7 · 07-18-2009, 12:58 AM

yeah yeah i got the money saving up for it and i was planning on doing the ls1 during the winter!
