Has anyone installed a procharger or similar item? What is the best bang for the buck?

If you go to the Forced Induction forum here you will find that EVERYONE there has installed either a PRocharger, Magnacharger, Kenne Bell, Twin Turbos, or ECS PAxton Novi 2000 Kit, or an A&A Vortech Kit. All good stuff.

It depends on what you are looking for, if you can do the work and tuning yourself, what other mods you have done, how much you want to spend. (ie: "How fast do you want to go - how deep are your pockets").

If you have some more specific questions I would be happy to help. IF you need an installer, there are a number of supporting tuners in your area that could help, me included.

Joe..

I have a Pro Charger on both my Z06 and My 2000 SS. I wouldnt go with anything else myself. The power levels I have seen with my setups have produced more power than any other system with the same setup and boost level. In my experience Pro Charger cant be beat.

Default 1998 C5

I am sorry that I forgot to mention my C5 is a 98. Is it true that I can't do as much with my 98 as you can with a 1999 and up?

Welcome to the forum, Since you are only about 35 minutes from us I would suggest our Paxton kit. Feel free to call with any questions or stop by anytime to see our operation.
