Hi, ive recently just got the D-1SC Procharger for the 2008 5.3 Gmc, it hasnt been installed yet. I was recommened to get lower compression pistons in order to be able to run it safely since the minimum boost is at 12 PSI, so that being done i was just wondering if I need to install or replace any other part in order to have a safe and reliable machine.

Here's a list of whats installed/to be installed

 

Installed: Full System exhaust

AirFilter Intake

To be installed: D-1SC

Lower compression pistons

Head Combustion chamber (Replaced)

Blower Cam

 

I was told i should be running in the range of ~570 rwhp, atleast i hope so i guess :idiot:

 

Thanks for any input. :nono:

570?? Might be aiming a little high...but it should give you a nice kick in the pants. Good luck with it!!! A lot of work ahead of ya. No warranty after this mod, but at least it'll kick some a$$

That's awesome! Can't wait to see it in action! :idiot:

 

No no no. For a procharger, this is the emotion you need. shiftnburn-1.gif

Im hoping all this would be completed/done and running within 3-4 months, still havent ordered the pistons, heads, and cam (saving up for it lol)

 

Ohhh yah will need to get new tires though for extra grip, the current set I got offer no traction at all lol

12PSI on a stock motor? i am praying you will have an intercooler in there

 

12psi on a factory 345hp motor...wouldnt suprise me if you hit the 500mark with a good tune, and quite possibly more

Yup a stock motor and yah it comes along with an intercooler,

 

Though I dont think ill be installing the pistons and heads, and will probably go with a tranny to handle the power (a fellow member suggested that),,Since the stock engine should be able to handle the 12 psi for a good time, saved me a couple thousand $$$ from purchasing parts that i dont really need :idiot:
