ProCharger installed and kinckin some ****!
I put this in starting Saturday evening at 5:30pm, stopped at 12:30. Continued Sunday from 11:30am to about 5:30pm. Thats the timeline anyone should expect. I have a lift, so thats my only advantage. The initial tune in the Predator was wrong so the car wouldnt drive right. The car went to ProCharger the following Friday and they retuned and dynoed it. Its a stock '06 auto GT and hit 450rwhp.This past weekend, wife and I got to take it out and cruise around finally. Tell you what, it pulls NIIIICCEELY
!! Spanked a Subbie STi and a 04 Mach 1. The dude with the Mach heard the whine as we idled by and he decided to give chase to see how his car would compare to a supercharged S197.I have a 3" Magnaflow Magnapack and BBK headers sitting here waiting to go on next.WooHoo!![sm=wootwoot.gif]

RE: ProCharger installed and kinckin some ****!
Procharger has 4 different kits on an ad slick they send out in an information pack.
1. 460 rwhp, 10 psi, 91 octane. (this is the kit I have) $5496 msrp
2. 510 rwhp, 13 psi, 91 octane.(this is the forementioned 600crank hp kit)
3. 540 rwhp, 14 psi, 93 octane.
4. 565 rwhp, 16 psi, 100 octane. Justin Burchams car
I can get more than 450hp if it gets a more refined tuned. An "engineer", instead of a "tuner" at ProCharger set up the cars current tune. I know one of the salesman, he helped get it set-up that day and said the tune is a little conservative. Once the exhaust gets put on, it will do a little better. Still, 450rwhp is over 500hp at the crank. Thats Shelby country for alot less $$$. Apparently, it's becoming known that 550rwhp is about the limit of the stock rods. To get more than that needs internal work for durability. Personally, with only 3800mi on the ticker, I dont want to be forced into a new engine yet. 450+ whatever the exhaust and retune bring, will be more than sufficient for quite some time.

RE: ProCharger installed and kinckin some ****!
So now your saying 550 RWHP is the limit???? I've always read 450RW is getting close to the limit on stock internals....
You sure ya wanna push it that far??? I mean, I would too, and I'm in the same boat as you...around 2100 miles.... I'd love to goto 500 at the wheel (kind of a milestone mark) but I don't wanna risk throwing a rod.... However, there is another side to this as well.... keeping in mind that there is some limit even with forged internals.... basically what I;'m saying/thinking is that a 450 rwhp road car is quite abit of power, and will inevitably take some time to get used to, and then bored with... So, I'm thinking that, drive it till it gets boring, then go forged and get that 'new power' feeling again taking it up to around 600+...
