i would upgrade your fuel system, injectors and fuel pump and then get a profressional tune for it. get rid of hypertech you won't be able to tune properly with that, and you might as well upgrade ur fuel system now cuz i'm sure you'll wanna up your boost after a while... better to do it all now then take a chance at running to lean and blowing something up.

can you put a roots type blower on the LT1's if you tore off all the computer BS?
make it look something like this?

Only one person has put a roots blower on an LT1. SO yes it can be done. Is it cost efficient? No. Yes you need upgraded fuel system, and custom computer tuning. Ditch the HPP, they suck anyway, and are not in any way meant for blower cars.

I have a 94 25TH Anniversary Trans Am.Put a Procharger P1-SC 8 LBS. boost with twin intercoolers on it. Took it to East Coast Superchargers in Jackson N.J. They Did a great job. I have stock injectors,Runs like a bear.But you will need a tune. The Procharger system comes with a high pressure fuel pump. What system are you looking to get?

Curious, what kind of numbers could be seen at 4.5psi?

I was actually thinking of going the supercharger route, running around 4.5-5 lbs of boost, but will that be ok on stock internals? and if so for how long? I am planning on getting the complete aeromotive fuel system, and already have the msd ignition set-up.

I take it the pistons are the big thing to go when a motor dies due a supercharger?

Yea, well I'm running out of bolt-ons, and really want to run some boost, but I guess a piston/crank/rods upgrade will really help out. any suggestions? looking for a good price and not looking to go to a 383, I dont really wanna bore anything

If you have any thoughts about a supercharger be sure you use forged internals.

yea def. But I cant find any suggestions on what to get without going up to the 383 kit. Im assuming lunati is a good brand but I can only find their 383 kit, it seems I'll have to just piece it together

When you buy a "kit" is any machine work required? Or can a garage with ample time get everything done. If so, how many hours is the job typically?
I'm still a long ways off, but my ultimate goal is a mildly supercharged 383 with a good set of heads and custom grind and dyno, so i'm just trying to lay out the costs. Not looking for more then 8psi really, unless they make a strong enough kit that can get things done reliably. I dont go to the track but I do love bragging rights and snapping peoples necks on the highway with the ocasional light to light chase, but considering whats around my area, i dont have to worry about anybody at a light

If you are doing a total rebuild it it always a good idea to have the block and heads sent to a machine shop and have them "worked". IMHO
