ECS Vs. PROCHARGER F1-R Cog, Need Help Quick!!! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

K1SSRSS · 11-12-2014, 05:41 PM

Well guys, I was set on a new ECS kit, but have come across a used Procharger F1-R with cog tuner kit that in the end would be about equal on price.

I plan on being on the stock LS3 bottom end (5-6 years) for quite a while and plan on sitting about 600-650 hp and will be running a meth-injection setup for added safety.

Edit, I failed to mention, the procharger would end up being ran with 850cc injectors and a dual fuel pump setup in the figured price vs BAP and included injectors on the ECS.

Which would you guys go with and why? I really need to decide tonight since this deal probably won't last long. Thanks

Does the f1-r fit without modifying the fender?

If the prices are equal I'd get the brand new kit.

I would not suggest a cog on a street car, especially a stick

F1r is a nice setup and unless you do ysi support more power.

I would do the ECS kit if your only looking for 650

I honestly have no idea, I will have to check on that since that could be a deal breaker depending on the extent of modification necessary. Thanks for the heads up.

I'm not sure what might be involved to change it back over to a 10 or 12 rib setup, but can you shed some light on why a cog drive setup is not ideal on a m6 street car? Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge.

I have 12psi from a Paxton with 850cc FICs fed by LPE twins. No issues.
