Hi Guys,

Just wanted to make sure I was going to be covered with my setup. I have a 5.3l and am getting ready to install my ProCharger D1-SC. I am going to be running 60 lb. injectors with a 255 lph Walbro in-tank pump. I am just wondering if the pump will be enough for my setup. The truck is an '04 model and I am completely stock right now except for a Hooker muffler.

I figured the 255 would be enough, but I have a friend with a Supercharged Vette who said when he was at 425 hp N/A he was seeing a drop in pressure and then it would get steady. I am wondering if I need a BAP or if you guys are doing OK with just the 255 in the tank. I will be running 9-10 psi and I think will be close to 400 whp.

Thanks for the help.

 

Yes u should be Fine... @ worst case later on you install a Hotwire kit The bigger injectors will help because the IDC will stay pretty low and help the pump keep up with the Load

 

Thanks for the reply...what exactly is a HotWire kit? Sorry, I just haven't ever heard of that.

 

Hey Whats up, what all have you done to the motor to handle the supercharger?

 

The motor is bone stock... with the exception of TR6 plugs. I have a lot of faith in my tuner so I am not worried about the engine with 60 lbers and a fairly conservative tune. The tranny on the other hand....

 

Good luck only making 9-10 psi. I had basically your exact set up and saw 12 psi on the dyno and 14psi on the street during the 1-2 shift. What I'm trying to say is that a D1 with the supplied 4" pulley on a stock 5.3 will make more boost than you want.

I also had a broke piston in 2 days. Be careful, make sure your tune is perfect, or you'll be in the same boat I was in.

You can search for some of my older posts and read up on it.

 

Blown06--Thanks again for the suggestions. Were you tuned on 93 when you smoked the piston and also what was the timing set at if you remember?

 

Yea, I was running 93 gas. Don't remember what the timing was set at. I would suggest you don't go over 18 to 20 degrees. Maybe others have better input on that.

 

on my 4.8 i only had 42lb injectors and the stock fuel pump with 12 psi. when i did mine i had to change out the rod cap bolts and if i could of done it over again i would of upgrade my oil pump and i had 480rwhp
