Procharger or LSJ swap

Hey guys... Curious to what everyone thinks I should do...

I'm debating now if I should go with an ATI Procharger kit for my L61

or if I should just do a LSJ intake-S/C swap? (since the intakes bolt patterns are the same)

or... a turbo setup

My dyno numbers from Apr. 18th are 132.4 HP@5700 rpm; and 137.2 Ft/Lb of TQ @4200 rpm.



The picture sucks but it was taken awhile ago from my camera phone....

The A/C compressor canister gets moved into my passenger side fender... and the procharger fits in it's place with custom built mounting brackets from a machine shop...

I already have plans to upgrade my 'leaf blower' before I do my major forced induction mod.

while true they don't like high boost.. their range isn't nearly as big as a procharger.. geven the correct planning they can definitely be a good alternative

There's only like 5 dealerships in the US that sell these, only two of which are in CA. They are the same price, though, as a comparable Procharger.

cant find one off a mustang or something? i see those for sale on craigslist all the time for a few hundred bucks....not sure about the cfm and boost pressure numbers tho...i think they throw like 7-9 to v8...but it sucks it down faster ...damn now im thinking and when the hampster starts running he has a hard time slowing down till something gets broken(headache).

I figured I'd buy it straight from Underdog and have them install and tune the car... Then I don't have to worry 'bout any headaches... They'll warranty the mod and the tune so I'm better off than if I buy used and get them to install...

My thoughts anyway...
