How hard is to install an ATI Procharger on a Camaro?? I just converted my 86 Iroc to serpentine b/c I am ready to buy my procharger and I was wanting to know how hard the intall is?? Are any special tools needed? Should I try it myself or is it best left to a professional????

 

If you are close we can do it for you here and tune it at outlaw. but otherwise It is not that difficult. Im helping procharger revise their install manual. I am also thinking of making a DOC and PIC file of a 3rd gen install and including it with the 3rd gen prochargers we sell.

 

Thanks for all the help, but I am all the way in Kansas. But there are a few shops here that I have talked to about the install, one has a dyno. On average how many hours does it take, or how much do you usually charge? Thanks

 

Took me only one day to install it. About 12 hours. Then another half day to shim the bracket so it would stop throwing belts. Then another 2 hours tuning it so it would run decent. Then finding that my stock 22 lb injectors were not up to the task of 75 psi of fuel pressure. So another 4 hours instgalling 24 lb/hr SVO injectors and another hour to re-tune.

Then I blew my stock motor with 150,000miles on it in the #7 cylinder.

So another few days on an engine rebuild with a FULL forged bottom end and then the install. Broke in the engine after 500 miles then put the blower belt back on. Ordered a 12 psi pully and now retuned it which took another 2 hours.
Now it seems that I'm going to need some 30 or 36 lb/hr injectors. So count in another 2 hours and then I'm putting SLP 1 3/4 headers in. Thats going to take at LEAST half a day since I heard SLP's are a bitch to install.

Right now I'm running a best of 12.81 ET @ 108mph on street tires. (2.1 60 ft.) I'm mid 12s on slicks I'm guessing and aiming for 11's with new heads.

Oh yeah so I guess to answer your questoin. Took me and a 40 year old ex GM mechanic 12 hours to install it.

 

thanks man, thats what I needed to know.
