I'm all over the place with what direction I might go. My original thought was a 94 tune with a ProCharger, I've also considered a Maggie, meth/water injection, and E only as a last resort. I have no problem with E, other than the hassle it would be to attain it in my area. Some folks might not like it, but I like the whistle of a ProCharger, and the sound of a good blow-off valve. On the other hand, this car will continue to look and sound stock, and a Maggie would keep with a overall sleeper theme.
I understand that a Centri and PD build boost differently, and now feel I would prefer to have more power down low, but not to the point where it would be unusable on sticky 20" 315 street tires. I don't care so much about a dig, or top end speeds, I would like something that gets from say 30 to 130 in a hurry, in theory of course. lol.
I have a stock M6 car, and it just feels weak down low under normal driving conditions, I guess the A10 would feel better through the entire rpm range.
I was thinking if you used the factory air box with a ProCharger that you might not need the intercooler, but I guess even if you're bringing fresh air into the turbine, it gets heated up there, and would be hot going into the engine intake. The intercooler would cool it down between the outlet of the ProCharger and the engine intake. Is it not necessary to have a intercooler for a PD set-up ?
Currently I'm thinking of going with a Maggie with flex fuel, LT4 fueling, and catch can, hoping for a safe and long lasting ~650 whp with stock clutch and exhaust.
