Alright the next step has come. However, I can't find any superchargers besides procharger anywhere for an L98 vette. Procharger is probably the way to go, BUT I want to see my other options.

So could anyone find another company that makes supercharging systems for an 87 vette?

I might even consider a twin turbo setup if someone finds it. I have searched and searched and only turn up ati prochargers.

Please help... thanks

p.s. if you could, give me the site, and or number to call, and any additional info you have on them. Previous experience.. etc

lol why s/c the vette?

01mmmz28 · 07 Nov 2006, 03:25 pm

No offense, I love Vettes, but why build the hell out of a L98?? Your wasting your money man. Just upgrage the valvetrane and JUICE the bastard. A 100 shot of N2O will yield the same results as a blower at a fraction of the price. If you are dead set on doing it, procharger IS the way to go. Make sure that there is a local tuner w/ the proper software to tune the L98 or it will be a worthless upgrade that cost you alot of money. Do you have all the supporting mods done or at least bought?? Blower cam ( 114-116 LSA) fuel pump(racetronix) and injectors( 30 lbs + ) new plugs and wires, and maybe even a meth kit to richen it up in the upper rpm range.

Dry?? go wet shot, it's safer.....dry makes it to lean. Do a maf ring kit wet shot.

bmxer99 · 07 Nov 2006, 04:49 pm

eh fuel puddling scares the shit outta me, i know the chances are low. but still scary.

bmxer99 · 07 Nov 2006, 04:50 pm

then again its all based on opinion. but id have to find a good person to install it. cause im sure as hell not compitent enough to install it. plus the other thing arises, how hard is it to maintain?

01mmmz28 · 07 Nov 2006, 04:52 pm

running lean scares me......blowing your motor w/ N2O usually happens ona dry shot.....PM me and I'll help you out w/ question and solutions.

none taken, i see your point, but for
several reasons...

1. i bought it cheap and it already had money spent on the engine that i didn't have to spend. (405 whp, 450 rwtq) and a c5 maybe even camaro for the same money and power was out of the question.

2. I want just a little more power, and I just don't trust nitrous.

3. How many 1987 vettes have you seen that would be over 525 rwhp and 575 rwtq modestly speaking? it would be a true collectors piece.

damn 4 grand for that procharger

bmxer99 · 07 Nov 2006, 05:25 pm

thats if you dont pimp it... into a curb.

BOTLFEDLT1 · 08 Nov 2006, 06:51 am

On a properly running system, the risk of fuel puddling is very, very low. I cant see it happening on anything less than a 200 shot. When I was testing my system, I shot a stream of carb cleaner through the fuel jet and the mist was EXTREMELY fine. This was at most a couple psi of pressure - at the 44-46 psi that your car's fuel system runs at, it would be even more fine... especially when its aided by 1000 psi worth of nitrous in the intake stream. These droplets are not going to suddenly condense into a pool at the intake velocity generated above 3000 rpm that you should be spraying at.

Right on !! pooling/puddleing is also caused by people spraying at the incorrect bottle pressure......900-1150 psi is perfect.

There are 2 kinds of racers, those that use nitrous, and those that lose to it, which one do you want to be.
