596 rwhp procharged Z28

[sicz2891]

@kwhitez28, i've got an 02 SS with SLP LM catback exhuast, edelbrock shorty headers, SLP lid, and diablo tune... Next thing I want to do is supercharge it. I see most people have the Procharger or Magnacharger. I've seen some pretty impressive numbers with both. How's the install with the Procharger, and quality? Thanks

i think youd fair better with a 10:1 or at least 9:5. now if you have an f1-a or c etc....at 16psi...then i may say ok. but d1sc should be best at 10:1 at least thats what folks are saying who drive them. mines being install on the stock bottom end for now at 8-9psi with meth. sweet car though. bet that feels good when boost hits.

[PerryFogg]

how many lbs of boost

[armyrob211]

oh wow i just read my last message...lol i ment to say it had a G trim blower on it wow i feel stupid lol was a vortech pushing 9psi with a blower cam.

[kief4diamonds]

@armyrob211 yeah man....you had me worrying. theyd have to name that cam TSP jesus dick. specs would be 93lsa with 1225 lift and 1409 exhaust. youd start it...and the lope would be so slow you could walk away and come back the next day and itd go....plop.....like one time and then just be quiet again for 24 more hours. then youd get on it and the car would just perform miracles.

[armyrob211]

@kief4diamonds hahahaha i like that. thats pretty funny no doubt.

[cjlopez956]

@armyrob211 sure buddy...youre talking about an ls1 though stronger bottom ends and way better heads available

[armyrob211]

haha funny....i had a buddy make 609 at the wheels with a stock bottom end and cam only 98 ss...hmmm must be the tune.

[kief4diamonds]

@armyrob211 cam only making 609 at the wheels? an ls1 is 295-320 at the tires stock.....what in the fuck kinda cam added 290-300 horses at the wheels if you dont mind me askin. my bs sensor is going off hard.

[csgtfaught]

@armyrob211 that is a load of bullshit, there is no cam only that will make that kind of power. a H/C/I maybe but cam only there is no way. you dont know what you are talking about so GTFO

[CamaroZ28Red]

Beautiful car man

[IllustriousSeven]

Does that thing live on pump gas or no?

[camaro2234]

are you running stock gearing?

[aarontheman38]

Wow... those white ZR1's? They look damn nice on a red T-top LT1 car.

[ballenb17]

yep, that is red! sure enough!

[Bosfootball]

i love the paint job i have a red 02 SS i want to get mine repainted i was thinking Torch Red is that the same you got and the top of your looks real good

[FugitiveVette]

actually 355 built properly go better than 383's. If you go to the bigger crank you loose rpm's I've seen this first hand. My 355 goes way better than both of my friends 383's although there are other factors like weight of the pistons and connecting rods, and more importantly the Heads, the Cam, Headers etc.

[N20LT4]

Nice Z and great #'s!!!

[shocker792]

wats the difference between the SS and the Z28?

[94Firebird396]

decals, seats, options, exhaust, intake, suspension, hood, like 20-30 hp not a big enough difference to buy an ss over a z28 if you plan to modify it anyways.

[N20LT4]

You forgot about long term resale value. That by itself is a big enough reason to purchase an SS over a base Z28.

[burnzillablue]

With a 383 Kit you would have made some more power but awesome numbers anyways!

[sparkz28ss]

30 something cubic inchs does not mean a whole lot on a boosted engine .... he could just pulley up a little

[barthmonster]

the extra 1/4" of stroke makes a 383 much more than just '30-something' more cubic inches. Usually about 50 ft-lbs of torque more...

[sparkz28ss]

yeah and thats abuot.. what .. 2-3psi off good boost from a good head unit

...still.. not that big of a deal when talking about a boosted Lt1... if we were talking about an all motor LT1 i see your point

[bigdon2241]

its 28 cubic inches and a lot of money for only youre better put that money in the heads

[dookie454]

What gear was that run in? 3rd?

[pretyflywiteguy]

whats your motor build? H/C/I?

[kwhitez28]

yes sir
