Keeping Tom busy :) Let me see if I can cover the weekend's questions -

I usually don't recommend raising the compression on a supercharged motor. You usually either want to keep it at the stock level or a little lower if your going to have some head work done. You may be able to get away with running a max of 5# but I'd be hesitant to give you a definate thumbs up. A custom computer program will be needed this and the other mods that you are running. I know of a good installed in IL that might be able to do this for you.

We have many customers that DIY (do it yourself) without a problem. This is a new kit so I can't give you any feedback on actual reported installation time but I can tell you that alot of people have been able to install the f-body ATI kit in about 12-15 hours which isn't to bad.

ATI is working on making this kit CARB legal in CA, but of course that usually takes awhile.

Both kits come with the pulley and belt. The race version doesn't come with programming and injectors.

We usually don't refer to the D-1SC as a stage 2 kit but alot of people think of it that way :) I don't believe ATI will be offering a heavy duty main bracket or 8 rib drive system but I can check on this.

LOL :) :) :) Everyone that doesn't live in CA wants to and everyone that lives there wants to get out :)


The ATI kit is alittle different than the one pictured but it gives you a good idea what the top half will look like.

If you have a built motor you could go with the D-1SC and crank the boost up to 10-15#. At that point I'd be expecting the car to make over 600 rear wheel horsepower.

Would this kit be OK for 1-2 times a month road racing events?

 

Tom,

thanks for the replies.. I am alil confused. I thought the D1SC was stage 2?? I think I have seen the f=body guys refer to them as such... What would be stage 2 then??

Also, do you know what pulley sizes refer to each psi?? I think th e3.20 pulley is the 10 psi one?? I basically want to have the ability to run a psi pulley and a 12+ psi pulley on a BUILT motor. So I guess I would order an extra pulley or two. How much are they??

thanks... :cheers:

 

For kicks here is a pic of one installed on an fbody...

ttt :smash:

 

It should be fine. We have quite a few customers that use their supercharged cars for road racing.

The D-1SC can be considered the stage 2 kit (we usually call it the race system or the upgrade). This is the Intercooled serpentine race kit. Boost levels will depend on mods that are done to the car. A kit that makes 8# on a stock car may only produce 4-5# on a car with aftermarket heads, cam and exhaust. We'd let ATI know what your mods are and the boost level that you are looking for. They can then figure out what size pulley you will need. Extra pulleys are about $70.

Man I think I need an good allbore and that setup.
Need a second job :)

650rwhp without NOS..........nice thing.


And what about a little NOS on top of that :D

To comment, since a few guys have asked
My shop is located in San Jose, CA and we will install do the Pro-Charger install on your vette.
I have not yet done a Procharger C5, but we have done them on lots of other applications, and have done more Vortec's on LS1 F-bodies than i can count.
Email me for more info

One other thing... Pro-Charger claims that all of their kits go on in 8-12 hours. In my experiance this is rarely the case, they generally take quite a bit more time. I'm guessing this gonna be a 15-20 hour job based on what I have seen in the past.

 

So how many supercharger C5s will be driving around after the 1st of the year? :)

Tom

 

:seeya

I will be buying one of the dam kits after jan 1 (tax writeoff :D shhhh)
gathering intel now :D :U

 

I think it's very likely a certain Yellow vert might be running around Olrando with one. Who do you have in mind here to do installs???????

 

What will be a typical RPM range for this setup ?
If you have a H&C pkg. reprogrammed for 6800 rev. limiter, would that
be a problem for this SC setup ?

x psi boost at what RPM ???

I guess Turbo is easier that way, because you can dial in max boost, and even with higher RPM you still be safe ?
Any TT guys that can confirm this ?

 

Thanks Tom! (1)kit ordered from TByrne motorsports. C5 coupe soon to be prowling Alaska with ATI Procharger! Great price!

Yes, Would NOS be to much to add?

 

Santa- Can you see above pics.. I have been good!! :D

 

Some people with a stock bottom end spray a supercharged car with a 35hp shot. But I would be very cautious. That would build alot of cylinder pressure and the head gaskets might not be to happy with this after awhile.

Hi Tom, any pictures of the actual kit with twin IC ?

Maybe some install pics ?

 

:cheers:

 

Nothing yet. We probably won't have any pics until after the kits start shipping. We'll be able to get a picture of the parts after a shipment comes in.

Tom

 

Hmm us Florida guys would like to know if Mike Norris could do the install so we would get the warranty.

Also, what kind of RWHP do you think I would see on an A4 with the usual bolt-ons?
