I am considering a centrifugal supercharger for an LS3 A6. Target ~650 rwhp (future may be ~800) with current after market intake and exhaust.

I read about a&a ecs etc. However preferred Procharger as its dealer is close by and will do install for me.

Am I ok with this choice or is it a compromise by any mean. Has anyone tried it. Couldn't find specific posts about.

Thanks.

Tons of people have procharger kits. I have run their p1sc, d1sc, f1a, f1a94 and soon to be f1x superchargers.

Have the shop you buy through order you the d1sc kit with those goals.

Or go big from the start with an f1a and procharger's new direct drive setup and inlet

Any reason why you prefer it over other brand..!?

They're local to me, are great to work with, are continuing to develop for the C6 platform and I've always made good reliable power with their blowers. I started at 550whp, then 630whp, then 930whp, then 1,026whp. The f1x is also the most badass blower out there right now making 1500whp

Good enough.

Any other parts you would suggest also for my target.

Probably a Kenne Bell boost-a-pump to have enough fuel pressure for 650whp

How about camshaft package etc!?

Look into the Dallas Performance big mouth filter kit for it. Long tube headers as well.

Have their kit on my car. Been trouble free and I love it.

a notched radiator or whatever you need to fit a good 4" intake should be required imo for any procharger kit, if you're going to make more than 600whp in the future I'd make sure to start out with an 8 rib belt/pulley kit. I have D1SC on my setup and they make great blowers but, and maybe it's just me, but it seems like the vortech guys have a lot less belt slip issues? If I was starting from scratch though I'd go with ECS setup, but at <800whp any of the name brand blower kits should work great.

methanol setup is highly recommended. to make 600whp though you won't need a cam or really anything. I have a buddy on a a&a kit ls3 with very conservative tune, stock exhaust, no methanol, 91 octane pump gas, etc and he makes 550 whp and he road races the car without issues. with methanol and smaller blower pulley he'd be at 600whp on almost stock everything.

3.8 pulley? Which head unit?

^^^ what he said..

I don't know the details but I believe it's a pretty simple A&A base kit. thing runs super hard though, I think sometimes my perspective gets skewed on this board where everyone seems to have 1k whp, a 550-600whp C6 corvette is a seriously fast car in any context outside of around here...hahah

Well I drive a F1R on a 2010 Camaro every day for about 60 miles and that is on a car that makes over 1000RWHP. Procharger by has been around the longest and has been winning races at the track FOREVER. They are EXTREMELY efficient and IATS are low enough to allow me to make around 30 autocross runs in ONE day WITHOUT a degradation in the performance. I do have a great tuner however LOL

what this guy said.. tune can make or break it. a lot of reliability, consistancy and power comes from the tuner knowing what he is doing. with out an awesome tuner any kit can give you issues..

I bought my 05 m6 coupe with 40,000 miles on it already supercharged, headers, cam, x pipe exhaust, an corsa sport with over 600 rwh. i blew the motor after driving it just 5,000 miles. at the time I had no idea why but after I had it rebuilt an tuned I later learned it was because the previous owner after all the hi performance mods DID NOT get it tuned, they didn't even change the stock map sensor.
getting it properly tuned is more important then the actual upgrades.

Looks like I will be pushing thru with the D1SC. Thanks for your thoughts around that.

I will get my mechanic and tuner advice and progress further.

More leaning towards having a cam package, heads studs, boost a pump, and a fuel kit along with the supercharger install.

VetteArts

Discussed with the tuner and the plan now is to go with:
Procharger d1sc head with different 8 rip pulley and bracket kit.
Camshaft kit, yet to decide which cam.
Meth kit.
Fuel pump, 85 injectors, and regulator.
May put double fan for better cooling.

nice, that'll make a nice setup

Can't wait to get parts list to push with orders.
