2000 C5 Supercharger Installation

I thought I would post up some progress pictures of the installation I am doing on a customers car. I am putting on an A&A P1SC kit picked up from the forum.

Modifications of course include the Racetronix system with 42# injectors along with a DTE Brace and a Textrailia OZ700 clutch, both from ECS.

This is actually the second time I am installing this kit.

I bought this kit new, sold it to a forum member in TX, he put it for sale and it ended back in Knoxville, let's just say this blower and I have a history...

Sweeet. Provided he runs a crappy street tire that won't hook the clutch will hold a fair amount of power.

Nick you do great work! Keep it up!
What else is going to be done to the 2000 C5 to achieve 525 goal? Any custom cam etc?

Stock heads and cam are fine at that power level. I had no problems making that power with a ProCharger and long tube headers on a bone stock long block.

Glad to know this can be done on an LS1 without running Alky and going into the motor. The reason I asked because I did not see any headers on the list.

There are folks making good power with ProChargers without long tube headers. I already had them when I added the blower, otherwise I probably wouldn't have bothered. You -will- pick up some nice torque with the long tubes though.. That much is certain.

I made a little north of 500 rwhp on a Mustang dyno with a D-1SC, 4.50 pulley (huge), entirely stock motor, pump gas, no meth, etc through an M6/3.42.

There are -tons- of people, probably the majority, that simply bolt on a supercharger or base turbo kit, make their 475-525 whp and have tons of fun daily driving their cars.
