smalltownguy Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 hey guys im looking for some honest opinions on my truck getting procharged.... I have just over 100,000 miles on my truck now and love it to death but have of course always wanted to supercharge it and now I HAVE THE PROCHARGER sitting in my garage and im currently piecing together supporting mods (badass cam with rods/springs) and really focusing on what to do tranny wise but after all is said and done between tranny/procharger/supporting mods/big brake kit (also sitting in my garage) i could be pushing $10gs easy so before i pull the trigger and finish getting together the parts for this build.... is it gonna be worth it or will the truck start falling apart now that ive broken the dreaded 100k mark? P.S. some things to keep in mind are that the truck is no longer my DD and selling it will be a sad day especially since i probably wont get $#%t for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatTallCanadian Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 On the bright side if things do break, you can replace them with better higher horsepower parts =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalltownguy Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 yeah who am i kidding i cant sale the SS... any you guys know a good set of hardened pushrods to go with? im in the long and not so easy process of figured out what cam to use and know ill need new springs and pushrods. hey kcsilveradoss i left you a bit of a reply in ur for sale post, as you can tell im in the heart digging up all the parts for my build and i like that transmission, any recommendations for other mods? here is a list of what i got ready to go: Pacesetter LTs (installed already) full exhaust (no cats) 160 stat msd plug wires (on for awhile now, right after the headers went on) procharger p1sc sitting in the garage, full kit with intercooler 42lb# injectors extra pcm ready to be sent off to a pro like zippy or may just remain extra depending on local tuning options shift kit and corvette servos (for current tranny, may just have to sale ) what else im after: stall, in the works of buying a circle D 2800 from Dentguy if i decided it will work with what cam/tranny i get smaller pulley (currently 8psi looking for the 12ish one) fairly aggressive cam and springs (possibly the same one Dentguy was running in his truck and lsa 114 that worked well with the before mention stall) pushrods now anything to make this powerful and reliable??? ideas?

Blown 346 Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 I really dont look at mileage to upgrade to make more power. The big issue is if the motor is getting tired, if it is then you could be asking for the motor to let go from all the added power. If it still runs strong, doesnt burn any oil, has good compression, I would be putting that baby on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
