how many miles is to many w/ forced induction

[capitila1]

im looking at buying a used ls1 camaro and will most likely put a supercharger on it. The cars im looking at have around 50,000 miles on them and im not looking to blow the engine right away. is supercharging the way to go or not? im looking to get over 550wrhp.:drivin:

p.s. iI have a 79 vette new engine paint and tons of other parts looking to sell

Bob at Exotic Perfomance put an ATI Procharger on an LS! Camaro with over 100k and had great results. He we probably reply with more info.

50k should be fine. Keep the boost under 8# and make sure the tune is good.

how much does a good tune up cost when you add a supercharger. Are you able to tune it up with a power programer or something like that or does it need to be sent out.

also how important is it to run an Intercooler with a supercharged ls1 with no more than 8 psi

[topgun1851]

i installed my procharger for 10psi and EPP (Bob) in Indiana tuned it for me. I am on 55,000 miles on the stock engine now (20,000 alone on the blower). Everything is still running perfect for me. But keep in mind, i dont redline 10psi it everywhere on the streets.

i installed a turbo on one of my other cars with 130k all stock motor and 10psi daily driven and beaten. that was a year ago and still boosting strong

Mine has 40K on it and no problems whatsoever. As long as the tune is good, you're fine.

My car has 67000 on the clock an has been charged since 4000mi on the stock internals. I have a 8# pulley with aftercooler an a dyno tune from Hawks performance
