cleansss20 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Im new to the site and I enjoy reading all the info put out on these trucks. It's got me wanting to do stuff I would have never thought of. I have a 03 SS silverado with a p1sc intercooled supercharger. That is the only engine mod done at this time. What are some good mods to make it fast, but also have good driving manners when i cruise or take a trip. What kind of cam, pulley, stall, headers etc... thanks!

jddmj Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 If that is the only mod, why not a Cold Air Intake from K&N or Volant? It will not see as great of numbers as your super charger, but it will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_aSSet Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Procharger has a (k&n?) air filter on the headunit so cai isn't really possible unless you routed some tubing off the headunit. Pacesetter 1-3/4" longtube headers are good for the price to get the air out more efficiently. You can pulley down on your P1 for more boost. A higher stall torque convertor well help build boost faster, circle D makes very nice torque convertors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleansss20 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 My plans were headers and a cam an stall but I didnt know what size cam or stall to get.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_aSSet Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Do some research on here or performancetrucks.net and see what works for other guys. you could get a custom grind cam spec'd for you from Pat G and choose the stall accordingly. I like a 3200-3600 stall, nice for DD and worked well when I had my P1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows how much I know about superchargers lol Not at all trying to be an ass here, but this is a perfect example of others trying to help with little to no experience. This is why I bring this up often because what if this ol boy ordered a CAI kit and goes to put it on but steps back and scratches his head as to how it will work with the blower kit he already has? Then he posts back on here asking how it works and so and so advised him to order it. If you are going to give advice, have the experience or knowledge to use it. Again, just trying to prevent a bad situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopnewton Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 I can't speak for anyone else but nothing has helped me get from point A to point B in less time than the flux capacitor i put on my truck. It's highly recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of good info available here. Just curious; Has your transmission been modded to hold up to the engine mods? Only mentioning it in case you haven't heard that the orig. trans doesn't care for a lot of added HP unmodded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown 346 Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) Brands of parts and sizes of cam, stall etc are all going to be peoples opinions, as everyone likes one brand over another. The best way to add a cam, converter etc, is to talk to a engine builder and tell them what your future goals are. HP expectations, drive ability, etc. Cam selection is a big part of making HP, if you choose the wrong cam and overlap you will be hurting performance and wasting money. You dont want to have to do a cam swap twice.... Any motor with any forced induction the cam should be matched to the other modifications of the motor and boost to perform and make the best HP doing it once. Stall converter as well, that has to either be built or matched to the engines modifications to perform correctly and not be too much or too little of a stall. otherwise it will hurt your performance and you will again waste money and time. Only a engine builder will be able to properly set you up with the correct parts to work efficiently with each other and have you do the job only once. Im not saying the people on this site arent smart enough to help you, but a engine builder who does this for a living is the best choice.

cleansss20 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Well I plan on getting the Cam, stall, and headers all at the same time. So ill have my p1sc procharger with intercooler and headers and base my stall and cam on that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown 346 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Just make sure your cam,and stall are matched up so everything works together. Dont buy a cam due to the way it sounds. thats where you will hurt performance to get the cool factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
