  1. Another Prob with SS

    in General SS

    Posted

    you may want to call the local dealer, i had the same issue and i was broke in college at the time so didnt fix it and low and behold i came to find out GM recalled it in our trucks and it got fixed at the dealer by the pros for FREE!!!

    This being one of many lately in so cal is why I'll prob drive my jeep more and the SS less plus instal geo tracking of some sort on both... Makes me sick, I hate Cali at times... Really sucks because geographically it's awesome but between the gun laws and thieves it makes me almost despise it!

  12. procharger F1R standard rotation

    Highly interested, I have the full kit from my p1 so what else would this need to make work? I'm guessing a different bracket which I could get from pro charger I assume and same goes for the belts and pulley. I have 60# injectors and two fuel pumps, stock 2 core amd larger 3.25 core intercooler with larger piping as well so can you lend me some of your vast supercharger knowledge and help me get the parts I may be missing and lets make a deal! Thanks

  16. Procharger build- water pump, roller rockers?

    in Forced Induction and Nitrous

    Great info guys, looks like I'll stay away from the rockers for now just based on keeping it simple for my first "build" and the fact that it seems like the stock setup will do fine. To clear the record for any possible miss interpretation i was asking specific to the yella terra rockers and the cam/springs/push rods are already on order (well working on ordering after cam specifics get finalized). I feel like the best thing for me to do would be to focus that $1,000 toward maybe upgrading from a p1 to a d1 or somewhere else since the gains from the pump and or rockers appears to be one of those things you do when you want that racers edge and not completely worth it for me just yet. Who knows though, i change my mind so much i could still be convinced to make the purchase if they sit for sale to long. It looks like my current setup should run really strong without either and seems tons of guys change even less out internally than i am (springs cam and push rods are the only thing im touching) and have great reliable setups. Once again thanks for all the great info... any more advice for some other little things i may be missing? running a catch can on your pro charger setups? I'll break down below what I have and please everyone feel free to chime in as my budget still has room to play so lets hear it! Parts acquired/acquiring:

     

    Prochargers P1SC with stock pulley (looking for smaller, 3.6 or so)

    I have both the intercooler that came with the procharger (2 core) and a 3.25 with larger piping (using this one obviously, selling the smaller one upon return home)

    #42 injectors and plug and play #60 injectors that i thought was a good deal so picked them up as well (selling the #42s when i get home as well)

    Pacesetter LTs been on the truck for some time

    No CATs and flows dumped in front of the rear axle (planning on changing this up slightly so long story short full exhaust system)

    MSD wires leading to new plugs (i own multiple sets of plugs, obviously going to change them up when the procharger goes in based on what i read and find out)

    160 stat

    Procharger custom intake off of Dentguys truck

    Comp Cam (working out the specifics still, looking to mirror what Dentguy had since i got his stall and same procharger setup)

    Hardend push rods (I'll order them with the cam most likely)

    Springs (918s)

     

    Transmission (still have lots of room in the tranny budget, going to discuss this with professionals to figure out what route im going to take):

    Circle D triple disc 2800 stall from Dentguys truck

    Trango HD 2 shift kit with mix of corvette and billet servos

    ^^^^ this is all i have right now, looking to go fully built or buy a fully built, since i have the stall for the 60 thats in the truck I'll prob stay with it and build what i got

     

    Other things being considered:

    Throttle body and intake manifold: I feel like with the P1 i should keep the stock size in order to hold the boost pressure up, but if i change to D1 and start running much more aggressive then opening it up with larger TB and intake will def happen... this is just my thoughts, tell me if that sounds dumb but another member was telling me his truck ran lower boost with a differnt TB and intake and felt like he should have left it stock unless the blower was huge (which the P1 is not) so thoughts on this?

    Catch can? simple, fairly cheap... seems worth it...what brand? thoughts?

    I feel like I'm missing a lot so what came into your head after reading this? If you had a budget for more with your procharger setup what would you do? Thanks again, i really want to do this right from the start or as close to it as possible

  18. Procharger build- water pump, roller rockers?

    in Forced Induction and Nitrous

    Posted · Edited by smalltownguy (see edit history)

    Hey guys as a lot of you know I'm acquiring pieces to build up my SS when i get back state side. I saw Blownfogger540 had a deal on some roller rockers and a sweet water pump in the for sale section right now and I'm curious as to what water pump if any change you guys run with the procharger setups? Also, would roller rockers be worth it for a truck with a procharger, cam, springs, rods? I'm not familiar with benefits of switching out the roller rockers so im just looking for some of you engine guru guys input on the situation! Any more details you want to know about what setup im looking for please ask, I'm just over a month away from coming home so Im ready to finish ordering all my parts! Lets talk! Thanks
