Called ProCharger to ask about Stage II kit for my 1997 Corvette, they informed me that they only offer that as a Tuner Kit, that means no injectors and no Tune on a handheld programmer, does anybody know why this is, the kit for a 1999 and up comes complete, any insight on this matter would be appreciated. I was thinking of buying that kit untill
I found this out, any suggestions?

You are better off anyway getting a custom tune done...

Not to worry! ProCharger is one of the best and all you will need to do is get fuel injectors (42's or 60's) depending on your goals!

Then the tuner will do the rest, there is no sense in being limited to what they offer.

The 97-98 PCM's are a little different than the 99-up! But this in no way limits us - just look at my set-up and my sig below!

Here is a link to my latest project on my '98:

Hand held tuners are not what I would run on a boosted application unless it were so I could drive to the real tuner...

I agree with all the others that a dyno tune is the best way to go. We do offer a complete 8 rib complete D-1SC kit with a tune though, shown here. http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com...html?item=1136 We have you send us your cars computer and we install a tune into it based on the countless cars we have tuned.
We normally see a 140 rwhp increase with 8 psi of boost! Bob

Thanks for all the replys, I still have a couple of questions. I live about 80 miles from the nearest tuner, do I leave stock injectors, or install larger ones, I know about not getting into boost, but what does that mean, my car is a 6 speed manual do I keep it under 2k when shifting?

Yup just keep the stock injectors in there until you get to the tuner, and you will not go into boost unless you go WOT. If you want to make 100% sure get a boost/vac guage aswell which you will probablly want anyways.

I drove mine around for 1k before boost as I put in a forged motor and then off to the dyno and 60# injectors
