Cool, but it is 50k or 68k?

[MovieGuy]

Depends on whether or not you buy it off the internet I guess.

[Tripleturbo]

over 700hp under50K?

Ye olde air intake right above the headers trick... good for thermal loading and such

[Wolvie70]

I think the key word is "starting"

I brought this very thing up in the forced induction forum. Apparently thats a pretty common spot for procharger to place their filters. I imagine it would be horrible placement for getting cool temps but there are people on these very forums running that kit in 100 degree weather without issue

I agree. I'd like to know how performance doesn't drop significantly as engine bay temps rise. I'd like to go with a procharger setup, if not just for cost alone, but I can't get past the air intake location.

Is the intercooler so effective that it is able to overcome such a drastic heat differential? Someone with practical experience please enlighten me.

8psi of boost is about 50% increase in horsepower, that will more then off set any hot air from header heat. of course colder air is even better, but sometimes that is the only location for the air filter.

$23,000 for a procharger, wheels and some badging? No thanks!

Thanks Steve.

I know prochargers are very effective on LT1's, as a buddy and I installed one on his C7. That said, the C7's engine bay layout allows for the air intake to be in the stock location. So, while the procharger is still effective in our cars, considering the air intake location, does a roots type make more sense for our application; considering efficiency?

Wonder what kind of Warrenty they are giving ???

I don't know... I'm sure it'll still add power, but it'll definitely suffer from heat soak. There's no way an intercooler will be able to get those temps down. You'll be at 720hp (maybe) for the first two pulls, then in limp mode until the car cools down. Even factory supercharged cars have these issues, and they're pulling air from outside of the car.
