Possibly I'll have my car back way before then. They are tuning my car after the install it. I already have Sw 1 7/8 headers cat delete and a cat back exhaust. I bought the whole d1sc kit bigger injecters fuel pump the whole bang. I might show up to check it out but I'm not goin to pay to have it on the dyno when it just was a few weeks b4 lol

Exactly what I'll be doing. No track for me. Well not for awhile until I improve the weak links. I plan on just having fun on the roads....

I meant clogged oil plug.

I'm not hating on anything. I was a huge procharger fan as I stated, if you can read, but I chose Vortech after a lot of research and think it is the better option.

Procharger makes excellent blowers and kits for the Camaro. I have an F1-R waiting to go on mine.

Running a boost controller is a good idea. I was going to go that route but I decided to just pulley it for more boost all the time and run E85. What size pulley are you running and what's max boost?

I guess you could say they made a self contained to make money off the oil, but I look at it from a more practical point of view. Tapping and running oil lines to the blower and back creates potential problems with oil leaks. Self contained is no problem. I'd probably feel differently if I'd have done an engine build and been able to weld in a return line bung for the oil to the engine oilpan, but I didn't. I spent a lot of time fooling with the threaded bung and every combination of silicone, etc to get a seal to no avail. I eventually just threw a pan under the car and resigned to the fact I'd have a very slow oil leak ( 1 tablespoon of oil every 2-3 days lost).

I'll take that over a clogged oil line any day. Take a piece of #9 wire run it through there that will take break it loose. I hear ya on the vortech, it also won't hit your pocket as hard lol. But I'm goin with a procharger proven coldest and best numbers, there is a lot of happy owners on this thread

Good luck to you, bud. It was a tough decision for me, and I don't think you will be dissappointed. Very curious to see how your process goes.

I hear ya on the "coldest" statement. The IAT numbers almost had me sold on the procharger. They do seems to be the best for the platform.

would you guys reccommend the injector kit or just the tuner kit? how much of an increase in power would the bigger injectors make compared to stock w/ the blower?
