Pro Charger

LOWET · 03-08-2008, 12:14 PM

I am thinking about having a procharger installed on my car. If anyone has one can you please let me know how you feel about it.
THANKS

I was going to get one, I was getting a hell of a deal too. $6000 for it installed (D1), with a custom blower cam... $6500 for #60 injectors and a Walbro fuel pump.

Though I decided agenst it. For the 2005's you have to repalce your 2 radiator fans with just one fan that comes with the kit. Some guys in Az here have had heating issues by doing this, that was the major deciding factor. If you are in a colder state that will not be such a big issue. On top of that even with the custom blower cam, TO ME the Procharger seemed to be lacking the torque that I wanted... especially down low.

Other than that I think it's a great kit. I'm sure more will chime in.

Here's a dumb question: We have TWO radiator fans? Can't remember ever seeing more than one.

I live in Connecticut, I don't use my car in the winter and the Summer months do get very hot. something for me to think about.
THANKS

I would hope the single fan they send in the kit would at least flow as much air as the two stock ones.

Go to Tristar Performance and talk to Rob Seguira. His shop is basically the Lingenfelter of the South as far as GM performance cars are concerened. I've talked with him on the phone at length about different options for my car. He prefers the procharger over the maggy for dyno reasons, sees better results with the procharger even though I prefer the maggy. His phone number is 770-892-7505. Your head will be swimming after you get off the phone with him and you'll be diving into your checkbook.

Thanks, but I will be using my shop here in Connecticut. They gave me a list of reasons why the Procharger would be the best for my application.

Thanks again

That's why I went with a Maggie. I didn't want a dyno queen. I wanted a fun street car that would spank plenty unsuspecting cars to a decent, legal speed (

) whenever I mashed the throttle. Instant torque FTW! If I would have gotten a Procharger I would have gotten a D1.

Yes, the Maggie is another good way to go, but I am still leaning towards the Procharger if I do Forced induction. I don't street race & my car has never been to the track. I just like having the power there to play with once in a while.

Boy this should draw some flame, but I've been running a Procharger on my C5since 2002 and there is no lack of torque down low!
In fact I plan to put one on the GTO as soon as the warrenty is up.

With the right axle ratio and an automatic with a stall converter most people won't know what hit them when you step on the go pedal!
