I have 18 more payments to go and just completed a Harrop supercharger with head porting and cam etc. Even though we purchased our Camaro new it came with no warranty due to exporting it to Australia and converting it to right hand drive, so we had nothing to lose.

Yep headers went on months ago. Made 420whp. Buddy just got a Used Procharger for his 5.0 but his parents "loaned" him the 3k to buy it
It's a lot harder to blow that money when you work for it.

Idk about that. lol. I did 80-100hr weeks the first six months of this year and dumped about 17k in it this year. Basically could've paid it off. Oh well. Lol

Rest of the car isn't built yet. No reason to turn up boost

IMO, no point in an iron block for less than 1krwhp, and you have the wrong power adder for that. Seems like a strange combination. Who tuned your car? A 2300 shouldn't be eating con rods.

It was my only financial choice. Was just a freak occurrence. All work at ADM. Also power is Lower because it's 9:1

Bought my 15 ss 1le from dealer as a demo, the general manager had it sent out and had magnusson heartbeat supercharger installed and drove it for almost 4k miles then I bought it. Comes with 36k mile warranty from magnusson on the engine. I have 18k miles on it and it runs great. Have intake and exhaust added since and it made 539whp. My wife drives the car as her daily.

Bought car - month later intake, long tubes tune= not enough! So I bought my twin turbo kit 5- 6 months after I bought my car! I don't care for warranty , my clutch should be here shortly,then upgrade to flex fuel AGP triple fuel system( later this year) then engine( forge bottom, heads,cam...). Money come and go - have to have fun when I can
