Just picked her up over the weekend. Now I have learn how to keep her happy, never had a car with this much power.

 

Sweet! What head unit is that? That is the same way i plan on doing mine

 

it's a P1SC with 8lb pulley, my face hurts from grinning all weekend, =)

 

Looks great! I've been tempted to switch over to a blow-through carb setup.

 

What size Holley are you running? Also, could you post what mods were made to it, like jets, PV, PVCRs, etc? Are you using a mech. fuel pump? How are you controlling timing as the boost increases?

Congrats on your setup .. very professional install.

 

That's actually a really good setup for anybody wanting a blower on a thirdgen, but not wanting to have to convert everything over to serpentine. It's one of ProCharger's "Carb Chevy" kits.

 

I actually just bought this car and the previous owner did all the work. He's looking for the engine specs since they were not in the paper work that I received. But this is what I know so far.

Crate 350
Vortec heads
Lunati Valve springs
Edelbrock RPM Air-Gap vortec manifold (7516)
Holley 4150 750cfm carburetor with ProForm body ( where are the part numbers on these things? )
Hooker comp headers
High output mechanical fuel pump
ProCharger P1SC with 8lb pulley

HD 700r4
Moser 12bolt with 33 spline axles
4.11 gears

He said he had the engine dyno tested before the ProCharger and it was at 410hp then so I guess were looking at something over 500hp. I'm going to try to find a place to get it dyno tuned this summer. There's less than 400 miles on the motor and about 100 miles on the procharger, so I'm taking it easy to break it in.

 

Looks great, but is there any way to run the intake somewhere other then ontop of the headers?

 

I agree. Something needs to be done about that air filter. It's way too small for the blower. It's going to be nothing but a restriction.

 

Yeah, I'll need to get some custom tube work done to get the filter up front and make room for a larger element. Is there any kind of flex tubing that I could buy and mock things up?

 

Get ahold of ProCharger, they can sell you whatever you might need. It looks like you might be able to put a rubber 45 degree elbow in there and stick a larger filter on the end of it, which would put the filter over the engine instead of the header. I wouldn't mess with that flex tubing. It looks too cheap.

 

heres something on procharger's website...btw how much did you buy the car for?

 

I don't think he'd have enough room for that, but if it went the opposite direct, like towards the motor, it might work.

 

nice setup. i'm about to set up a similar one on my 350ho. enjoy!

 

that's a sweet setup!

I'm thinking of doing a blow through turbo setup on my Firebird, didn't know they made a blowthrough kit like that for our cars.

 

Nice setup, looks like a very fun strip car. I was thinking the same thing about the filter though, it's too small and in a real yucky location.
If you get a cowl induction hood, you could route a bigger one further back and to the middle of the cowl. It looks like there would be room for that, and it would get cool fresh air.

Sometimes I wish I had ripped out the TPI and stuck a carbed motor in mine, with a bolt on supercharger kit, because it would be finished by now. Then I get all crazy for fuel-injected twin turbos again, heh. It's a vicious cycle.
